If you have any machine with a CF reader/writer (I use an packard bell
wih an i7 and linux mint) and a CF to IDE card there should be no
problems (if the 286 have a hard drive). to install from CF hard drive
to the 286 hard drive or copy fils to the hard drive and then install to
the CF.

I am trying to install Freedos 1.2 or 1.3 on a 286 with a CF card.
Unfortunately, I don't have a floppy disk drive on my Win10 PC, so I make the
detour via this trick:

I tried to read that, but honestly, with the mistakes and factual
errors in the page, I got distracted.
Can you summarise what you are trying to do?
My impression is:
[1] attach CF card to Vbox VM as its hard disk – yes, that should work.
I describe how to do that onto a USB key in my tech blog, here:
https://liam-on-linux.livejournal.com/50416.html
[2] install DOS onto CF card — OK, easy
[3] move CF card to vintage PC and use it – OK, easy
What is the problem and where is it going wrong?
What make/model of 80286, just out of interest?
Considered putting a cheap USB floppy drive onto your Win10 machine?
