you should upgrade your helper utitilities. By plugging into
/usr/local/share/dosemu it is easy to forget something; in that case it
would be easier to install the RPM instead of the binary tarball, since
the tarball is meant for pure local installation under $HOME.

in the bin tarball you should find generic.com and some symbolic links
(lredir, xmode and so on) in the dosemu/freedos/dosemu directory.
In your case these (probably) need to be copied to
/usr/local/share/dosemu/freedos/dosemu
