I disagree. I have a Raspberry Pi 3B and I use QEMU on it to boot
FreeDOS. It works very well, although installing is very slow (partly
because all CPU instructions are emulated in software, and partly
because of the slower I/O on my microSD card). But it works fine after
installing, and not any slower than a '486 or '386 of the era.

You can find lots of articles about installing FreeDOS on Raspberry Pi
using QEMU, like this one:

I wrote about it on Opensource.com in 2018:
