My officemate recently did this using a shareware utility
called "winimage"; the catch was that he had to get the DOS
files themselves from somewhere. Once he had those, he
used winimage to create the boot sectors on the floppy and,
I believe, to order them correctly.

If you have DOS somewhere, this could be a solution. Sorry,
but he doesn't remember the URL for this.

Subject: DOS bootable floppy in Windows NT?

How do you make a DOS bootable floppy in Windows NT? I've got a BIOS
update to perform and it says to boot to DOS. This is a Windows NT
machine. There is no DOS. And the old format commands such as format
a: /s don't work anymore. If I type format /? from the command line it
reveals a number of options but none of them include a DOS bootable disk.
