What do you expect?  The boot disk boots you into plain DOS, where long 
file names are not available.

To make it work in plain DOS, you need to disable numeric tails, and then 
copy all the files on the DJGPP installation.  See section 22.19 in the 
DJGPP FAQ.

Well, you did boot into DOS, only DOS 7, not DOS 6.22.  Long file names 
are not available in plain DOS.
