Hi Bastian, 

I made a self-booting CD with FreeDOS in December. I tried OpenDOS 
and other alternative DOSes before. They failed, whereas FreeDOS seems
to work on _any_ computer. On the other hand the newer computers 
tend to lack floppy drives, and work stations in LANs would not boot
from CD-ROM. 

While experimenting I noticed that FreeDOS is undergoing a rather
rapid development. Possibly upgrading of your boot diskette to an
up-to-date version of FreeDOS will solve your problems.
