DOS=HIGH,UMB loads MS-DOS in high memory.
Use LOADHIGH to try to load as much as possible in hi-mem.

In order to enable UMB you have to install emm386 :-) , but under VBox

You're wrong, AFAIK. Upper memory was the space between 640K and 1MB.
"Extended memory" (XMS) or "Expanded Memory" (EMS) was the space above 1MB,
accessed in smaller segments at a time.

If everything fails, use DR-DOS which ran circles around MS-DOS. In fact it
made QEMM 386 redundant.
