I always worry about geometry differences... If you can find what geometry QEmu
was using for the HDD image (perhaps from inside QEmu, itself), then you can try
offering those C, H, S, parameters as the memdisk "kernel" arguments:
LABEL foo
KERNEL memdisk
APPEND harddisk c=CC h=HH s=SS
where the CC, HH, and SS are substituted with the values you found inside QEmu.
This has worked for me before.

Subject: [syslinux] Creating hd images to memdisk
Hi,
I'm trying to create a hd image to use with memdisk:
dd if=/dev/zero of=doshd.img bs=1024 count=16384
and, via qemu, I installed freedos:
qemu -cdrom fdfullcd.iso -hda doshd.img -boot d
Everything gone ok and qemu boots freedos normally.
But, when I try to use the same image on memdisk the following message
appears:
Invalid Operation System!
I used the same process on USB key, with sucess.
What is wrong?
Thanks!
