Do you have DOSBox installed? If so, what does it not do that you still need? (Admittedly, that is not using the FreeDOS kernel.) You can also run QEMU or VBox. What exactly do you need to do?

I feel like we've discussed this before, but unfortunately things like this are so arcane and complicated that it's almost impossible to debug your machine from afar. So I still don't understand what you're unable to do.
