I compiled a custom kernel on Virtualbox and after some fiddling booted
it just fine in 86box's 8088 mode.
I did have problems creating/emulating a 360k floppy; even images of old
dos 360k floppies had issues though -that's a 86box problem.
In another 8088 configuration, using the XTIDE controller, I was even
able to have large (500 megabyte) hard disks. I'd consider that
cheatingS though, personally.
I mention this because I have a vague recollection of someone on a
FreeDOS list saying that it wouldn't boot on an emulated 8088. It does,
at least for me.

For whatever that's worth...
