Boot disks are read when you restart your computer. Simply having a boot disk (the floopy disk here) in your drive at startup should be enough and you'll boot in DOS.

From there, you should be greeted to c:\ and you should be able to use commands just like in DOSBox. I can't really ganrantee you that you won't have to fiddle with the autoexec.bat and config.sys to configure your DOS tough.

I had the same problem on win98. Just download dosbox 0.60. That seemed to fix the problem (although dos box is really slow, but I think that's 'cause I have a junky hardware).
