No floppy, I tried CD (booting SpinRite) testing a disk drive for bad spots.
The CD/SpinRite does boot on a Dell laptop & desktop.

I need a little more information.
I have two HPs (HP Elite 8000 SFF and a DC-5700)
The 8000 is in SATA mode for W10 so I have to use the HP/Intel
AHCI.SYS driver to "see" the hard drive. The other is in IDE mode and boots
with no issues.

Actually, that's a really good point. The nice thing about FreeDOS is
that it's so small and doesn't require a lot of me
Forgot to mention the other nice thing about an emulator is that you
don't have to set up multi-boot with Windows & DOS to be able to run
FreeDOS. Which was the original question. :-)

Why not run Freedos in dosemu within Linux? That's the
way I run it. So Grub doesn't even know about it, but
Linux runs it.

I have a drive with three primary partitions and an extended one with
two logicals in it. I boot via grub and boot linux out of one of the
extended partitions so you can boot from one. However I happen to have
freedos in a little 500 mb partition at the very begining so I have not
