Well, I'm not sure I know what you're doing. BUT, FreeBSD will run on most PC-based machines. PicoBSD is perfect for embedded systems. FreeBSD is in itself an operating system, it will probally never be run on DOS as that would be counter-productive. If I understand what you're doing, simply install FreeBSD onto a PC, run the Apache software, connect it to the network, and you're set.
