I saw something similar when I was testing some experimental graphics
code. If the card didn't initialiase properly DOSEMU appeared to/would
hang. Have a look at /etc/dosemu.conf and try setting $_graphics and
$_console to (0). Then DOSEMU shouldn't try to initialise the graphics
card on startup. If this works, then you could try just re-enabling
$_console.
