For legacy boot you can always create a system in a vm and image it directly to the storage in the target computer, and boot it, done. Of course using all native software, not Virtual Box.
If you play with many old computers, keep a copy of an image without a desktop, or essentially a completed netinst with no selections. It should be under a gig in size with ~700 packages. You can complete it using a copy as desired in a vm, or image it to the donor computer and complete it on that to experience the slowness. Extras like nvidia specific systems can be done like this. This is also a preferred way to setup, backup and upgrade off-line computers.
