You can use wine cmd to get to a c:> or z:> depending on what directory.
wineconsole is also an option. At that point you and run your 
c:\autoexec.bat and set the environment. But for Dos based not needing 
window can be run on dosbox or dosemu or some others. If you need 
protected mode or the above don't work with your tool set use one of the 
virtual machines and install msdos or freedos. I have been using Qemu 
for a while but many other are around. Search your distributions package 
manager for them.
