Hi Jay!
I tried to do the same thing with a logical slice of disk but FreeDOS
failed to see it. If it is possible to install FreeDOS onto a logical
slice of disk, inside of the extended slice, the technique for doing
so is unknown, or, at least, unknown by me.
DOS can not be installed on a

It did that because you didn't take control.

Just pick yourself up an old free computer locally. I can confirm that I have
been able to get freeDOS up and running PERFECTLY on a Pentium 3. I am about to
permanently install it on a either a Pentium D or just a Pentium 4. :)

Please ignore my last. I see that it's a hypervisor, which should do
what I need.
I almost thought it was too much like DOSBox which is its own OS and I
was trying to stay away from that.
Nothing against DOSBox, it has its place and is best in what it does.

For those times when VirtualBox doesn't cut it, I use AQEMU, a GUI-based
frontend for QEMU.
QEMU itself supports SO many options that using it from a command line can be a
little daunting; AQEMU's GUI approach makes creating/configuring VMs much more
straightforward IMO.

This is kind of a sore point when using Windows-based virtualization
apps.
Virtualbox (and I believe VMWare) support SoundBlaster 16, but only to a
certain extent (as in later versions of Windows).
They don't support DOS sound, period.
One of the things I noticed with DOS games is that I/O
Freedos will work well on 64bit cpu. Just kernel will have its 16/32 bit
memory limits though.

Yes, of course. Unless you are referring with 64 bit machine to an
Intel
Short answer is yes.
Longer answer is that you won't be able to take advantage of anything 64bit
on the machine. FreeDOS is still DOS, so it runs as a 16bit process.
Be careful if you machine has EFI, instead of BIOS. FreeDOS requires BIOS.
Otherwise, you are better off running FreeDOS in a
