I don't know what linux would actually do in that situation. Actually the loader (loadlin) is what failed. The message was not that informational, somewhat cryptic or non-memorable because I really don't remember anymore. But I think you can see the problem happening again if you try to use one of those distros that booted from a fat filesystem on dosbox.
