If from dos, you can access your cdrom, then why not copy over the main DSL files into a small parition on hard drive, then use linld or loadlin to boot.

And when you are done, the 50MB dos install parition could be used for your swap parition. In fact, start by making a 128MB dos install partition. Nothing wasted. I describe this procedure in the Wiki in the net install method.
