You can use PLoP bootmanager: it's at www.plop.at .
With this installed, you can (read-only) boot from usb stick
on even the old usb 1.1 hardware, and also you can boot from
USB when the BIOS has *_no_* support for it. It's freeware.
If you don't want to install it to hard drive,
you can just boot from a cd burned with it,
with the same results.
Comprehensive instruction is on the PLoP site.
If you want to install it to FreeDOS, though,
you have to boot "no drivers": option 4, or any totally driverless boot.
(It doesn't agree with one or more of the memory managers.)
PLoP is excellent.
Most Sincerely,
Mark Brown
