Not without hardware support for virtualisation extensions *or* some other 
emulator layer (see discussion on Qemu below):

I wouldn't be at all surprised if not everything worked on Intel boxes at the 
moment, since the VT-x support for Realmode under Xen isn't so good...  As 
Mats said it may be more of a question of crazy memory tricks not working 
rather than standard DOS failing out right.  It would be interesting to 
try...

Considered Qemu?  Your distro may well include it and it'll perform well 
enough for DOS use...  You could always run it in a Xen VM if you want!

Cheers,
Mark
