That depends. First, go into your BIOS and see if it supports booting from USB; you should be able to find this out by going into the "Boot Order" menu. If there's a USB option, then yes, you probably can; otherwise, no, you'll have to find a floppy drive somewhere.
If your computer is new enough that it doesn't have a floppy drive, it's probably new enough that it should be able to boot from USB... just check and see. If so, then I think there's a USB image for FreeDOS, but I'm not sure where, someone else might know.
