You could also make a floppy-disk image and install SYSLINUX onto it, 
then use chain.c32 to chain to FreeDOS.

In fact, if FreeDOS enjoys the MEMDISK floppy, then you could transfer 
the FreeDOS SYStem onto it (replacing SYSLINUX), then DD the modified 
MEMDISK floppy back to an image file for next time.  If you do this, it 
might be interesting to look at the difference between that resulting 
image-file and what you're getting from newmkfloppyimg.sh.
