It seems that VPC can. If there are some error prompts when running the boot disk, if installing, a special method is needed.

I tried to install the PC-DOS 4.00 system on the hard disk of Virtual PC 5.2 but it always didn't succeed, but I found that this system can be installed on a floppy disk, only that I have to repeatedly switch the floppy disk during installation.
The following is the PC-DOS 4.00 I have installed. When starting in the virtual machine, just give priority to booting from this disk to enter the PC-DOS 4.00 system. I wonder if it can be booted on VMware?

MS-DOS 4.01 can only boot from a floppy disk under VPC, and cannot boot from a hard disk.

This virtual machine is specially for running old systems, completely virtualizing the IBM PC 5150

This virtual machine is specifically for running old systems, fully emulating the IBM PC 5150
This virtual machine emulates something too old, only 8086/80186

Both MSDOS 4.00 and PCDOS 4.00 will encounter errors when running on VMware Workstation!
They won't on Virtual PC, and here are the error messages:
