There is also DOSBox: http://dosbox.sourceforge.net.
DOSbox is a "DOS" emulator specifically targetted to run older style DOS
games. I know of no way to install a alternate OS in it.
I suppose if your alternate OS could be loaded via a method like loadlin
does for DOS & Linux, you might be able to get somewhere.
It looks like DOSBox is at least a rudamentary 386 emulator as it'll run
Ultima7, and Ultima8 (Which amazingly are on topic these days. :-) )
Bochs tries to emulate newer machines, while DOSBox caters to older PC
emulation.
There is also QEMU: http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/
Though I have no first hand knowledge of this one.
Haven't heard too much about QEMU, other than (in a entirely OT sort of
way) its a good way to run the x86 Linux NeverWinter Nights game server,
under PPC Linux. :->
