Means burning a CD with DOS on it (I'm not going to buy a floppy disk
drive just for this...(^&)

It's not clear to me that I *need* to do this, or if it's dependant on the
DVD drive model/revision.  I guess before I waste time and money on a DVD
drive that may not work as-is, I need to first see if I can get FreeDOS to
boot from CD.
