The only NTFS driver for DOS I know is NTFSDOS from Sysinternals.
(But the freeware version is read-only, so you won't be able to

Two 1.44M floppies should be enough (maybe three, the v**** definition 
files can have grown too much since the last time I made such a floppy
set, and NTFS driver will take some additional space as well).
