I don't think it would be possible.
As far as I know, there is an option to boot from CD in the setup. (To enter into setup, press 'delete' while booting) You can have a boot CD and boot from there.
And I think, the Pen Drive is an USB device, which requires software drivers to be installed. These drivers would work with Windows only and not in DOS mode.
I am not a computer genius, so I may be wrong too.
