Right. I was hoping I could install the FreeDOS boot files to my USB key 
from dosemu. I can then boot the key with the vendor-supplied DOS flash 
utility.

Ok, fortunately I have both i386 an x86_64 boot partitions. I've rebooted 
to the i386 partition to build it. I've also switched from the 1.2 "stable" 
tree (deprecated on the devel list) to the 1.3 development tree. I've run 
into a different build issue and I see someone else has also encountered it 
on the dosemu-devel mailing list.
