I'm using a 5MB image which emulates floppydisk.

label test
    kernel data/memdisk
    append initrd=data2/test.img c=80 h=8 s=18 floppy

problems are I don't know how it was generated (Linux), how to insert bootsector.
WinImage can edit the image (but not defragment it, or create it). 
complete emulated harddisk images can't be opened by WinImage.

syslinux mailinglist:
I may have found a Memdisk bug, but I'm not sure.
Isolinux 2.08pre6, corresponding Memdisk file.
DOS image, Freedos kernel 2032a-fat32

I'm trying first to get an answer from the freedos XMS driver maintainer.
more info will be provided afterwards.

errors are these:
