Currently I know only to make my USB flash drive bootable with FreeDOS and then start grub4dos.

But how can I get grub4dos directly into mbr without FreeDOS?

This

fdisk -l

mkdosfs -F16 /dev/sdb1

./bootlace.com /dev/sdb1

does not work. Invalid partition table. And --floppy also doesn`t work.

If I am not mistaken, you are trying the above under linux, and /sdb1 is first partition on the device, not the whole device.
Since you want to write a MBR, the target must be the whole device, NOT a partition inside it.

In "grub" terms, you are trying to write the (hd1,0), whilst it is expected to have (hd1) as target.

Try

bootlace.com /dev/sdb

Small mistake. Big difference. You where right. Like always.
