I guess you should first allocate a descriptor. Maybe this examplecode I use
helps...

if ((ldt_sel = __dpmi_allocate_ldt_descriptors(1)) == -1)
    usage("error allocating ldt_descriptor");
memset(&mi,0,sizeof(mi));
mi.address = MMIOBase;
mi.size = MMIOSize;

if (__dpmi_physical_address_mapping(&mi) == -1)
    usage("error mapping physical address");
if (__dpmi_lock_linear_region(&mi) == -1)
    usage("error locking ldt_descriptor");
if (__dpmi_set_segment_base_address(ldt_sel, mi.address) == -1)
    usage("error setting ldt segment base");
if (__dpmi_set_segment_limit(ldt_sel, mi.size - 1) == -1)
    usage("error setting ldt segment limit");
