I have booted an OpenDOS 320kB "diskette". You should be able to
fit ibm*.com, command.com and about 200kB of other stuff on the
"diskette". This is from a 7.01 release:

-rw-rw-r--   1 ken      ken         55077 Jan 23  1997 command.com
-rw-rw-r--   1 ken      ken         27880 Jan 23  1997 ibmbio.com
-rw-rw-r--   1 ken      ken         30081 Jan 23  1997 ibmdos.com

Check that you are not using another command shell like 4dos, which will
get copied onto the "diskette" by the sys.com command.
