I had a spare CF card, so I decided to give FreeDOS a try.
They had a set of floppy images that I could use so I popped in the CF card and booted the boot image and started the install.
Issue: The setup formatted and set up the non-active DOS partition to be bootable. It took me a bit to figure that out and why it wasn't booting from the CF card, but that was easy to fix.
There are some more things I need to configure about it to get it 100%, but I decided it wasn't worth it at this time.
Bottom line: I saw no benefit to using FreeDOS over DOS 3.30 for the Compaq (at least for my use).
