Really weird... so something is just plain ole wiggy.
Now, I know real MS-DOS had a problem (some kind of overflow in how it
computed the various pointers) when the size of a disk was really close
to a particular boundary, and the size of your disk was really round in
terms of binary values (0xc00000). You may want to try it again with a
less "binary" geometry.
Other than that, I'm puzzled because of the differing behaviour. It
could also be that the old version of FreeDOS contained a broken
HIMEM.SYS which interfered with MEMDISK (probably by leaving interrupts
on after INT 15h.)
