This one was me. I was able to use LiveCD2 on QEMU to boot and install
FreeDOS 1.3 RC1.

Installing worked fine even at lower memory configuration (-m). Definitely
needed more memory to run as a LiveCD, because of the ramdisk setup.

This was with a completely fresh/unpartitioned hard disk image. (
FD13-LiveCD2.img - I was doing tests on all of the install media, and named
the hard disk image after the CD image name I was installing from)
