Insufficient info.

You're installing to a hard drive, right? Where is this hard drive? How did you create it?

The reason is turned out to be that in the BAT file for ct486 launch I used -hard1 MyDOS.chd instead of -hard MyDOS.chd.

I guess it's about:
you need to keep pressing some keys, i think esc or enter when it shows the loading ms-dos message

Believe it's a long standing regression, around keyboard LLE got added?

I managed to get some floppies to boot, but not these ones.
