Before mounting your images, you must create a compatible environment: Type & Version as the type and as the version. Memory (RAM) : Limit base memory to
Start the virtual machine. It should boot from the first disk image. Press to start the Setup program. Press Enter again to partition the virtual hard disk. The machine will restart.
VirtualBox does not natively boot from .IMG files attached as floppy drives in the same seamless way VMware does. If you simply attach an IMG file to the virtual floppy controller, VirtualBox often fails to read the boot sector correctly, resulting in:

To proceed, the user requires the following components:
Some users report issues starting DOS virtual machines when VT-x (hardware virtualization) is enabled. If your DOS guest hangs at "Starting MS-DOS," try disabling VT-x in your VM settings.
Here are a few tips and tricks to help you get the most out of running MS-DOS 6.22 in VirtualBox:
: Getting software into a DOS VM can be tricky. Since VirtualBox Guest Additions do not exist for MS-DOS, you have a few alternatives. The simplest is to create a new floppy IMG file on your host machine, format it, copy your software (like a vintage game or assembler) into it, then mount that IMG in the VM's floppy drive and copy the files to your C: drive. For larger amounts of data, you can create an ISO file (CD image) of your software and mount it in the VirtualBox virtual CD/DVD drive. You will, however, need to install a CD-ROM driver in DOS to access the ISO.
Sometimes you want to add custom software (like Turbo C, a game, or Norton Commander ). You don’t need real floppies. On a modern PC, you can create .img files using:
Allocate of RAM. DOS requires less than 1 MB to boot, so 32 MB is more than enough. Choose Create a virtual hard disk now and click Create . Select VDI (VirtualBox Disk Image) and click Next . Choose Fixed size or Dynamically allocated .
Pair a pre-built DOS VDI with a Shared Folder (VirtualBox Guest Additions don’t exist for DOS, but you can use mTCP to transfer files via network).
With the VM configured, you are ready to install MS-DOS 6.22. It's a straightforward process.
