No! It can't! If it does this,
then it is a misconfiguration/
bug/outdated kernel/outdated dosemu/
dosemu with root privs/ or whatever,
but not the supposed behaviour.
With the sane setup such a things
simply cannot happen. Please explain
your problem in *much* more details.

You can extend the dosemu startup
script, or start it from another
script, which, after dosemu exits,
will restore the keyboard and the
console state. But no, this have
nothing to do with rebootes etc,
so please explain your problem in
details.
