I highly recommend that you try it on real hardware if you're going to try it at all. It's much, much snappier, even on a Pentium II or III, on a real machine than in a VM.
Intresting read.. It seems it never did make it to the PC/AT line though.
"The 80186 would have been a natural successor to the 8086 in personal computers. However, because its integrated hardware was incompatible with the hardware used in the original IBM PC, the 80286 was used as the successor instead in the IBM PC/AT."

Remember that Haiku is built for i586 systems. Are P2 and P3 i586?
Yes. (It was 8086, 80186, 80286, 386, 486, Pentium=586.)
I don't believe there ever was a 80186
