You can get lots of MS-DOS boot disks here.
I doubt you really want the original MS-DOS -- DOS 1.0 didn't understand things like 1.44MB floppies.
Win98 had a genuine MS-DOS underneath, which makes it probably the newest version of 16-bit MS-DOS except for the crippled version underneath Windows ME.
There's also FreeDOS, which is MS-DOS compatible. I've seen board manufacturers use it for BIOS upgrade disks and the like, so it must be pretty stable.

mrd
mrd(1) General Commands Manual mrd(1) NAME
mrd - mtools utility to remove a DOS directory SYNOPSIS
mrd msdosdirectory [msdosdirectories...] DESCRIPTION
The mrd command removes a directory from a DOS file system. If the directory is not empty, an error occurs. Unlike DOS conventions, this command allows multiple arguments. DOS subdirectory names that contain the '/' or '' separator are supported. If you use the '' separator or wildcards, you must enclose file names in quotes to protect them from the shell. The mcd command can be used to establish the device and the current working directory (relative to DOS), otherwise the default is A:. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: Success. Failure. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of mrd: If set, this variable names the file that contains the name of the current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this variable is not set, the file $HOME/.mcwd is used. FILES
Contains the name of the current mtools working directory as established by the mcd command. If this file does not exist, the default mtools working directory is A:. Executable file SEE ALSO
Commands: mcd(1), mmd(1), mtools(1) mrd(1)
