Had to install sharutils and xdelta3 on my Debian machine but I think I've got this part now.

Trying to boot a known-good 1440 KiB FAT12 diskette image using XTIDE results in the display of "Error 2h!", either with my boot loader (-D_COMPAT_FREEDOS -D_LBA=0 -D_USE_PART_INFO=0) or with FreeDOS's native boot loader. The same error occurs when I first eject the diskette from the drive.

What machine type did you set up? On the "Machine" page I chose "Machine type" 8088, "Machine" Generic XT clone, "CPU type" Intel 8088, "Speed" 16, "Memory" 640 KiB. On the "Storage controllers" page I chose "HD Controller" [ISA] PC/XT XTIDE, "FD Controller" Internal controller. On the "Hard disks" page I have my "IDE (0:0)" with C:H:S 1006:16:63, 495 MiB, "Speed" RAM Disk (max. speed). On the "Floppy & CD-ROM drives" page I selected "Type" 3.5" 1.44M (presumably they mean 90mm 1440 KiB) for the first drive, "Turbo timings" off, "Check BPB" on.

Also, whenever I hard reset the machine it pops up this screen:

Generic Turbo XT Bios 1987

System error #04, Continue?

Pressing any key in response to this seems to continue to boot as expected.
