You left out a critical piece of information. What virtualization software are you using?

VirtualBox doesn't support 3.1 (http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Guest_OSes)

VMWare Player (http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmware_player200.pdf) should work, page 16.

I figured out the problem with 3.1, I was using "PC User Virtual Machine Shop Lite 2", floppy drive wasn't avaliable, so i used "PC User Virtual Machine Shop Lite" and Floppy drive was avaliable, so ticked it and i'm now able to install MS-DOS 6.22 (then 3.11 for Workgroups)
