While DosFreak is factually correct, I guess the correct answer is more like "Not yet".
Anyone tried to boot OS/2 in DOSBox?

Why not installing OS/2 on a separate partition?.
I think running OS/2 under DOSBox will be IMPOSSIBLE and little practical. OS/2 is a fully featured Operating System.

I guess it would require a speciall effort to adapt DOSBOX. And it would not be very usefull anyway. Probably slow. So in short: NO
There are better alternatives for running non-DOS operating systems... (PC emulators like Virtual PC, VMWARE etc.).

Hmm... I may be wrong, but OS/2 might have an int13 disk driver, even though it has no DOS underneath. I vaguely recall that from the days I used it. Will try it one day 😉
