I pasted the wrong command. The freedos.img does exist and I use it in the command. The FLOPPY.img also exist and I downloaded it from the freedos.org site.
My raspberry is a 3+ With a PNY Elite CLass 10 64gb sd card. I think the thread you may be referencing may be the one where the user receives a lot of ‘opcode’ errors and he added ‘raw’ at the end of the command after boot by pressing tab to fix. I have tried it with the same results.
