I don't use DOSEMU anymore, but I do use QEMU. Here's my command line for that: /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -name FreeDOS -machine pc-i440fx-4.2,accel=kvm,usb=off,dump-guest-core=off -enable-kvm -cpu host -m 16 -overcommit mem-lock=off -no-user-config -nodefaults -rtc base=utc,driftfix=slew -no-hpet -boot menu=on,strict=on -sandbox on,obsolete=deny,elevateprivileges=deny,spawn=deny,resourcecontrol=deny -msg timestamp=on -hda freedos.img -cdrom FD13LIVE.iso -device sb16 -device adlib -soundhw pcspk -vga cirrus -display sdl -usbdevice mouse Note that this command line assumes you've already created your C: disk image (qemu-img create freedos.img 500m) and that your FreeDOS 1.3 LiveCD is in the current directory. This is slower to install on QEMU, but it's fine after that. And unlike VirtualBox, QEMU emulates the PC speaker. (Disclaimer: I use QEMU for some things, and VirtualBox for some other things. But I'm generally moving more of my usage to VirtualBox.)
