Phil Martin wants to boot a Win ME machine in DOS mode:

I expect you can put the flash utility and binary files all on one 
bootable floppy. Then you can boot any version of MS-DOS and do your 
thing with no reference to the hard disc. 

If you want to maximise available conventional memory without using a
memory manager, and to minimise flopy disc space used by the 
operating sytem, try MS-DOS 2.11! (MS-DOS 1 is a bit limited.)

Best wishes,
