Hello, y'all! I heard that DOSBox was a complete x86 emulator, not exclusively a DOS emulator, so does this mean that I can run other operating systems on it? An answer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
May the Force be with you!
You can boot original MS-DOS in it. AFAIK, that's the only OS that runs.
DosBox is not really a complete emulator. It's designed for running games, not OS's.
I've tried linux and picobsd once.
They hang during during the hardware detection phase.

How to ask questions the smart way!
Cool. So, now that I know that it's possible...how do I do it?

Well, there's easier ways to hanging DOSBox than installing another OS!

OS/2 doesn't work as well -- hangs at boot, before install. (it doesn't work in qemu either).
OS/2 Warp doesn't work under VMWare either, by the way...

What about CP/M-86? Anybody ever tried it?
