   Currently installing FreeDOS and hoping the installer is smart enough to know the disk size if it will succeed.

     This PC has USB, but it cannot use a USB keyboard to go into the BIOS :-( So I need to use Qemu to make a disk image and write it to the hard drive and configure it to load USB UHCI keyboard support.

     i haven't compiled a kernel in about 15 years, but as I recall, you can compile a few drivers right in .. and then put the others in initrd.
     also as i dimly recall -- you need to compile gzip, a disk driver, and squish-fs driver into your custom kernel so it can read initrd. don't quote me on that
