CD drivers did exist for DOS and you could absolutely boot up a system with one or two floppies, and one optical drive. MSCDEX.EXE was apparently what allowed you to connect to the optical drive.

You’re totally right. You could put DOS on one floppy and the driver on the other or just load it into RAM. archive.org/details/dos-with-cd-rom-support
