To satisfy my curiosity I have been trying (without success) to get

What I have discovered is that:-

given an inordinate amount of RAM. However it immediately freezes when I

I am probably way late on this one, but that maneuver is a nonstarter. Nested Virtualization is very difficult and kind of pointless. A few security researchers[0] have done it, mostly as a stunt to prove a technical point, but it is very unstable. You *can* run DOSbox in a VM, but generally the question is, why would you?
