What do you have in your config.sys?
The FreeDOS and MS-DOS cases might be completely different. As I know
from hard experience :-), the current FreeDOS himem.exe has some
issues with memdisk (which will be fixed soon).
But I also have reports that DOS 6.22 hangs on startup if it detects
any "unusual" partitions on any of your drives. I am not sure what
qualifies as "unusual", exactly, but Linux partitions (for instance)
will do it.
Do you have a copy of DOS 7 (Win9x) or DOS 8 (WinME) you might try?
They are more forgiving of foreign OS partitions...
