This might seem like a silly question, but how do I create a Dos boot disk?

format a: /s

This will copy your system files and make the disk bootable. Be sure you're formatting the "A" drive....not the "C" drive

Insert a New Floppy Disk in Drive.
At the DOS Prompt type - FORMAT A: /S
(This will Format and Transfer System Files)
Add other files you may need
(I.E. FORMAT.exe SYS.EXE .... ect)

You now have a MS-DOS Boot Disk!
