Are you certain that the machine you are trying to install FreeDOS is not UEFI

Most modern Linux installers can boot both ways. Unfortunately, UEFI is not an
option for FreeDOS at present.
Well will it ever be an option possible to implement UEFI for FreeDOS?
I personally think its not possible The issue is that UEFI is mostly the
same as a BIOS. But one of the issue's is that during boot a UEFI loader
calls ExitFromBootServices() if you could keep these services active...
But that is not possible I think. FreeDOS depends on a lot of BIOS calls.
You MIGHT be able to write a UEFI loader that provides BIOS services to
FreeDOS with SeaBIOS. But there is much code involved. You would
effectively write half a VM more or less...
