Or maybe boot from GRUB2 or grub4dos. I would install to USB stick, probably 4 GB; would likely use factory partitioning, would have to check cluster size so as not to be > 4 KB, might have to reformat from NetBSD or FreeBSD. Possibly install to hard-disk/USB-stick image and then dd or rsync to USB stick? It would be helpful if you could say how to boot FreeDOS using GRUB2, grub4dos or Syslinux; then I might be able to run SYS to make a nonbootable USB stick bootable. Or would the boot be via Syslinux? But when I ran SYS on USB-stick installation of FreeDOS 1.1, the file system was rendered nonreadable; I had to start over beginning with newfs_msdos from FreeBSD.
