Another way to do it is to edit the file MSDOS.SYS which is a text file in
Windows 95/98 which contains boot options. Since it is a system, hidden,
readonly file, you have to change the attributes before editing it and
change them back afterwards.
Change the line that says "BootGUI=1" to "BootGUI=0" and it will boot just
like any regular DOS machine (and will execute autoexec.bat).
The sequence is:
ATTRIB -S -H -R msdos.sys
edit the file
ATTRIB +S +H +R msdos.sys
