Running other DOSes

One program was crashing and I thhought that it was dosemus' fault, but then I tried it on a "native" FreeDOS and it crashed the same way, so I'm trying to run MS-DOS 6.22 on it. The problem is that if I simply replace freedos with the DOS-6.22 files it says "invalid dos version" and doesn't boot, waiting for a correct command.com. If I remove the file kernel.sys which seems that's exclusive to freedos dosemu will simply say that there's no operating system.
So, what is the way to make other DOSes work?

Rename the freedos directory and create a new one, then put the
MSDOS 6.22 files in it, then copy the DOSEmu files (from the renamed freedos directory) in it.
Hope this helps.
Bye.

Thanks, finally I got it working. I had to make all files lowercase for it to work,though.
