If I had: '-M q35' to qemu to enable a SATA only machine, when booting in live 
mode 1.3-rc3:

UDVD2: Nothing to use; UDVD2 not loaded.

I hope UDVD return an error code we could use to give a more meaninful message 
like:

Your computer is running in SATA only mode, so I cannot access the CD-ROM.

You might try to see if your BIOS support Legacy IDE mode.

My newer BIOS does not have this compatibility option anymore, sadly.

I see: https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/bugs/266/?limit=25 (about this)... oh 
we do have bugs list, I should maybe use it more!



If I boot with a normal PC to do the fdisk, then reboot in SATA only mode and 
select install, installation will go until:

"Unable to locate the installation packages.

A reboot may help."

Maybe where "A reboot may help" should be replaced by: "Reboot, and try to 
enable Legacy IDE mode in your BIOS before trying again."
