I just tried running some applications from a USB stick booting FreeDOS. It didn't work very well...the USB stick got slightly corrupted. I have seen similar problems today with MS-DOS without SMARTDRV, so some research is in order!
USB boot corruption would not specifically be a FreeDOS issue. Nowadays I often boot FreeDOS and test applications all on a USB stick showing as huge A: drive, under various memory manager configurations. A few tests hammer the USB drive extensively without problems (my main remaining wish there is for better throughput, as it can get very draggy, reminding more of a floppy than hard disk in extreme cases).
