I had the idea that jumpbox is a tool for creating appliances.

bochs
plex86 (Was to supercede bochs, changed direction, may have lost direction)
user mode Linux. Implements a Linux kernel whose "hardware" is the host 
Linux. The host sees and manages its processes.

Hercules. You would probably not want to host your webserver on it, but 
you could. A complete emulation of IBM's S/360 through z/Series and 
selected peripherals such as DASD. I have run MVS (an IBM OS from the 
70s) on it, and reportedly runs the latest VM, VSE and MVS descendants. 
And Linux, of course.

Google shows a selection of 8086 emulators, some commercial and some not.
