If you have bootable CD-ROM and BIOS, you do not need DOS nor DOS CDROM
driver. So I am at a loss.
When you boot from CD-ROM, you are loading LINUX kernel. CD-ROM looks
like 2.88MB floppy disk from BIOS. That Linux can read CD-ROM. So read
driver directly from CDROM uring booting.
If this sounds too much, you can make FDs to boot system under DOS
environment. Then you need DOS CDROM driver and DOS program rawrite.
