All you need for dos is command.com, available for free many places on the internet.
But you also need to prepare the drive, configure the Master Boot Record, and there are also a couple hidden boot files (MSDOS.SYS and IO.SYS) that are required.
Just sticking a copy of command.com on a disk won't make it bootable.
Also, unlike Apple, no versions of MS-DOS are really free. There are some other DOSes like DR-DOS that are, and even run Windows from what I've read, but no MS-DOSes. Doesn't mean they're not available, but, eh :)
Win95+ doesn't require a preinstalled DOS. It'll do everything.
