With assembler, or [home-grown] assembler library functions for the rare occasions you do need the full monty. You can still store them in Int32 variables, so typically you just need a few (inlined) arithmetic functions for the rest. Inconvenient sometimes yes, but that's all.

Ok, but I don't think that having the O/S on the floppy drive is the best way to test this.

I've now got FreeDOS 1.0 running in a VMware virtual machine with a Win2k host as I write this. This has shown up a couple of GV bugs, but neither have anything to do with the "Drive A" problem, of which there is no sign of. :-|
