Some months ago we discussed about this very precise topic. I particularly favoured for something like this: let Linux do the job to adapt to new hardware and FreeDOS live in a emulated 16-bit environment that real hardware no longer provides. I am happy that HP proved it to be feasible.
DOS isn't restricted 16-Bit, with VCPI and DPMI there are plenty of 32-Bit-DOS programs out there. And if HP has a feasible solution with FreeDOS or not, may be in the eye of the beholder. (They apparently say that it's not themselves, as you cannot really use the hardware with it. Lack of drivers is just the tip of the iceberg, with no audio to start with.) But, yes, Linux can do that. But for me personally, when I have to use Linux anyway, I do prefer running DOSBox...
