Multi boot question

[Marli]

I have XP installed. I have also got in the root dir command.com and the
relevant dos files to boot dos. I have setup boot.ini to enable you to boot
XP or boot a batch file that will run ghost and restore an image over c
drive if anything goes wrong (this is for a mobile application if you are
wondering)

This all works but when it boots to dos it firstly comes up with the screen
that allows you to choose safe mode etc. I want it to boot straight into the
batch file that runs ghost.

I see the text for the safe mode etc screen lives in IO.sys.

Is there any way to bypass the safe mode etc screen.

Did you remember to include the MSDOS.SYS file? I'm assuming from your
description that you used the DOS files from a 9x/Me system.

Yes they are in there. There must be a switch or something to turn off the
menu which gives you the choice?

You probably have the BootMenu option included and its set to 1. It should
be set to 0. If the BootMenu= line is missing, add it, and set it to 0.

BootMenu=0
