I was struggling with BIOS upgrades for our new Dell servers, as Dell didn’t provide
bootable ISO image for BIOS upgrades.
After searching for DOS bootable images I have found FreeDOS project.

Unfortunately FreeDOS 1.1 LiveCD mode is not supported out of the box.

Using modified iso image from this page you can boot directly to DOS without need to
install anything:

To add your own files to the iso, just use


trial version of Magic ISO Maker (300MB
maximum), or some similar program.
Just put your custom files in FREEDOS
folder and after booting you will be able to
run them in DOS environment.

After boot process is complete run dir


command to see what files are in current
directory.

E:\FREEDOS> dir

On the following picture you can see that


Dell BIOS update utility – M620-0~0.EXE is present in the directory.

The only thing left is to execute it:

E:\FREEDOS> M620-0~0.EXE

This Bootable DOS ISO was tested on


HP, DELL, Supermicro iKVMs and on
VmWare.
