I found several Hypervisors but most of them just allowed single-tasking. Probably to cut down the development time. So I ended up with the Nova Microhypervisor from Udo Steinberg and evaluated that.

There is a link to a demo CD at bottom of this page:
http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/~us15/nova/

The developers were a bit upset that they could not demotivate me to test the demo version. They do not really want any users because they consider it a pure research project.

During my tests I wrote a tutorial (diary?) since a lot of things were not documented. You may want to read the tutorial first so you will know what you can expect.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/n5hvtdskv1te565/u4WhWs6ZTJ

My tests allowed me to run several instances of Linux and FreeDOS simultaniously when booting the demo CD. But the hardware emulation that is included with this Hypervisor is not sufficient for practical uses of these instances. The problems I found are documented in my tutorial.

The Qemu virtual machine is already widely used successfully and therefore I think it is better to use that instead.
