Hello Victor,

On your place I'll just create msdos partition and install FreeDOS
(http://www.freedos.org/) there. (Actually I did use FreeDOS once to
run some ancient programs of mine, but life is easier with
emulators/dosbox).

If you need a bootloader there, then

  http://mbrbm.sourceforge.net/

should work.

However, if you need exactly m$'s dos, it's logical that you must
borrow from there (from existing m$-dos or window$-9*). A quick googling
shows that on

  http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-userlevel/2004/03/07/0000.html

you can read how to borrow and how much. :)
