Will the EEEpc boot from a USB flash drive? If so, install FreeDOS on the
USB flash from another computer, boot it on the EEEpc, and install
FreeDOS "normally" on the EEEpc.
Many (probably most) computers with modern BIOSs will recognize a USB
flash drive if it is installed at boot time. This allows installation of
FreeDOS
normally on the drive and booting it when you are done.
I have installed FreeDOS on USB flash drives. With a modern BIOS and
a floppy drive, that's trivial. Slightly harder booting from CD since you have
to create the CD.

Subject: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS USB installation
Hello;
I've been scouring the internet to find someone who has installed FreeDOS
from a USB flash drive. I've found no one, thus far :(.
Why would anyone, like me, want to do this? I have an EEEpc :) and want to
run FreeDOS on this nifty little piece of machinery and start banging some
bits! Does anyone have some advice or sugghestions?
Thanks;
Braden.
