OK. I tried the FASTBOOT option with FreeDOS (kernel 2042 [11/2016], FreeCOM 0.84-pre2, JemmEx 5.79 from config.sys).
In opposite of setup without FASTBOOT it works however with some bizarre aspect.
After pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL appears a error message: "No bootable device - insert boot disk and press any key"
I just press any key and the computer reboots.
