What you probably mean is that it loaded from DCONFIG.SYS on the uncompressed
portion of your drive. DCONFIG.SYS is the primary configuration file which then
chains to CONFIG.SYS after the SuperStor driver is installed and drive 
designations are swapped.  We would need to see your DCONFIG.SYS on drive D:.

If you can't determine what the offending program is, you can disable the
kernal relocation by using the /BDOS parameter.  Alternately, you can try
to use QEMM in place of EMM386 and then use HIDOS.SYS /BDOS=FFFF for the
kernal relocation.  You will most likely still get an error but it will be
from QEMM which might be a bit more verbose.

Good luck!
