I haven't run FreeDOS on my Raspberry Pi since I set it up as a Fedora 30 server (in-home web server, print server, and backup server). So if there's a bug in QEMU on Raspberry Pi, I haven't had an opportunity to hit it in the recent builds. I mentioned in my other email that I thought someone suggested I should update my OpenSource article with a workaround for installing FreeDOS on QEMU on RasPi. I am pulling from bad memory here, but I think the other problem was similar to this.
