I had a thought. Is it using a 8086 FD kernel or is it using a 386 FD kernel? AFAIK, MS was good about restricting itself to 8088/8086 instructions and FD makes like 4 versions of the kernel available including a couple which require a 386. SvarDOS is also 8088/8086 kernel with a separate distro for 386. https://svarog386.sourceforge.net/
