I finally read up on documentation, and indeed 'floppy=N' parameter is 
mentioned there. Any valid numbers aren't mentioned, but as MEMDISK is 
usually only meant for DOS, valid numbers are 0 and 1.
I don't know if it depends on my VMware 5.5 bios, but when using 
'floppy=1', Memdisk reports the 360KB image I load as 'harddrive' , 
while 'floppy' (same for 'floppy=0') reports 'disk image is a floppy'

Perhaps I should be testing with MSDOS instead of FreeDOS, as the 
bootsector of the disk image is involved?

> MEMDISK itself?  No.

So there's a decompression engine for disk images, but none for 
compressed files you want to run?
That would mean the program you want to run itself would have to support 
(de)compression.

Always nice to learn new things :)
