If enabling CSM in your BIOS isn't an option or isn't enough for FreeDOS, there is a translation layer that can get it to run on UEFI hardware: https://github.com/FlyGoat/CSMWrap

That had not occurred to me and I'm also not sure. FreeDOS was able to boot just fine into the live environment. It was the disk part that failed.
OK, I just posted a comment saying FreeDOS will no longer run on hardware because of lack of BIOS support, but that might change things I guess. Hope it can be made to work.
Another big problem for FreeDOS is the lack of sound card support. I do not know if anyone has solved that yet.
