By default, any flavor of DOS I have used will not see any kind of EMMC storage. You may have a setting in your BIOS to treat them as traditional IDE disks, which may work, but otherwise there's sadly a strong chance that Free/MS/Whatever DOS simply cannot see the device without some kind of special driver, which the manufacturer likely never made.
