I edit it with dosemu (as drive D) :
[ ~/.dosemurc]
$_hdimage = "drives/freedos drives/e.img "
[ end ~/.dosemurc ]
I created the image with mkdiskimage and added a Dosemu header. I
don't know how to loop mount it, maybe there is a way (with or without
the dosemu header) by specifying and additional offset (I think
losetup has this feature).
