This won't work. coreboot initializes parts of the hardware that are
already fully initialized when DOS is running - like the RAM controller.

If you only want to test coreboot (but don't mind what hardware it runs
on), you can try the emulation/qemu-x86 target. This runs in the QEmu
system emulator, which is a good option to learn more about coreboot.
However, it doesn't help testing coreboot for any specific mainboard.
