In order to do what you describe, FreeDOS would have to run virtualization software as a host, with Linux running as a guest. FreeDOS cannot do this, as far as I'm aware. FreeDOS can run as a guest, under virtualization, but not as a host. If you really want the features of FreeDOS and Linux simultaneously on a single computer, I believe you would need to install Linux on the hardware, and run virtualization software on Linux. Then run FreeDOS as a guest inside the virtualization.
