Not that I know of, although I have been contemplating adapting my partially built bootloader (I abandoned it on favour of grub) into a multiboot compliant DOS based kernel loader. So you run your os from DOS rather than having to setup grub etc.

Chris Giese wrote a Multiboot loader which loads your kernel from DOS. Its available here. And there's a thread about it here
