An interesting and actually occuring reason for FreeDOS getting stuck at initdisk is that when you are using a kernel without FAT32 support (8086-compatible kernels may be compiled without that by default!) on a disk which only has FAT32 partitions.

In that case, the kernel will fail to find a suitable partition and will proceed to attempt to load config sys from A: instead, which can fail without showing an error message. So it will look exactly as if initdisk got stuck.
