A screenshot of your boot options screen would be useful too.

All those files look good. Seems odd that you have 1.6GB free on the C:
drive of 7.8GB. A full install of FreeDOS with source is probably only 1GB
or so.
What’s the content of autoexec.bat, fdconfig.sys, gem.bat, device.raw, and
shell.raw?

Also DOSes use a simple boot loader framework.
BIOS loads Boot Sector from a disk
Boot Sector (in MBR format) loads additional OS boot code from file
system on a disk
OS Boot Code initializes machine, loads kernel/OS, and then loads
command interpreter that then loads boot config (config.sys,

It is possible that the MBR contains incompatible boot code.
There are ways to force update it.
On FreeDOS 1.2 there was a ZAPMBR.BAT that would do that. I think it is also
included on 1.3-RC2.
I don’t recommend using it on a multi-boot system.
