The command is doscmd, and it can be used to run a DOS binary at the
command line, open a (BIOS simulation) X window or even boot DOS from
a disk image. This is documented in doscmd(1).
Furthermore, you need to build a custom kernel with the option VM86 to
make the kernel support the virtual machine mode of the x86 (with x >=3 )
CPUs.
