It freezes only showing FreeDOS_ on the bottom of the screen.
I'll try it on the original 1Gig card again to make sure it's not a problem with the image.
Next, I'll see if it's fixable when you alter the bios HDD settings.
What size is your CF card?

Luckily I bought a 1GB and a 2GB, so I can try the 1GB no problem if you need me to :)

I just tested the image on my 1Gig, and it's not booting either. ???
Thee image must have gotten corrupted during the proces of taking and shrinking it. I'll do the proces over again. I already restored the full image on a 4Gig card, and it boots again. So far So good. Will test it a bit better this time. My apalogies for this misery.

New image for the die hards that are still with us
http://www.mediafire.com/download/9w93x1vbjzaq959/megaxl_1g.zip
Took it from a 1 Gig card and restored it to a 4Gig
Tested the 4Gig, and it booted into the game.
Hopefully right this time.

OK good news is FREE DOS finally boots and I got a bit further this time.
Bad news is I get a completely new error:
Any idea what I can do to fix this?
obcd:
I assume you didn't forgot to copy the files of your cd to the mega folder. Maybe you created a subfolder under that mega folder and all stuff is in there?
First, you need to abort that error loop. You can do so by pressing <CTRL> c. So just press and hold the <CTRL> button and press c at the same time. It should give you the message:
Wilt u batchbestand 'f:\launchit.bat' be-eindigen (Ja/Nee/Alles) ?
Simply hit the j button and you should be prompted with
d:\>
First we might check if both d and f are created properly.
dir d: <cr>
dir f: <cr>
These commands should show you the contens of d and f
My d contains 2 files. My f contains 52 bestanden (files) and 42 dir(s) (folders)
Next, you could try dir f:*.exe
This should show you all files on f with the exe extension. Those are files you should be able to run in dos.
My cd has 2 such files.
delall.exe
megacdll.exe
The freedos autoexec.bat launches f:\launchit.bat
The contents of that file:
:runit
d:
f:\delall
copy f:\megacdll.exe d:\
copy f:\thefiles.dat d:\
megacdll
if not exist d:\escape goto runit
As you can see, it tries to launch megacdll, which in your case doesn't seem to exist.
You can modify the launchit.bat to remove the error loop:
:runit
d:
f:\delall
copy f:\megacdll.exe d:\
copy f:\thefiles.dat d:\
megacdll
echo if not exist d:\escape goto runit
echo will simply print that line on the screen. It will disable the loop in launchit.bat.
You can make the changes on your windows pc, but even on the megatouch itself with the keyboard connected.
simply run
edit f:\launchit.bat <cr>
the upper menu bar can be accessed with the <alt> key.
<alt> F opens the file menu which you need to save the file and quit the program.
Don't worry to much, you are almost playing it again.
I have the impression when I look at your screen picture that your screen voltage is a little 2 high,
but you should get the thing going first before you look into that.
