I'd like to second Tom's opinion.
If memory serves, MS DOS understands FAT32 since about version 7 or 8

be version 1 or so...

Did you perhaps confuse FAT32 for NTFS or ExFAT/FAT64?

I much rather think that the confusion is that (Free)DOS is not plug&play, so if you plug in the USB stick after FreeDOS is booted up, it will very likely (though depending on the BIOS of the machine) not recognize that there is a different drive. Boot up with the USB stick inserted, and it is very likely to see it just fine. That's how it works on my old Dell laptop...
