2 A tip for Multi-Boot users
If you are tired of hitting F8 every time you boot your PC, here is a quick fix that will present a "Boot Menu" every time you start your machine:
1. Open up your MSDOS.sys file in the MS-DOS Editor.
2. Add the following line to the [Options] section:
3. BootMenu=1
4. Save changes, and exit MS-DOS Editor.
5. Reboot your PC, and your new Boot Menu will appear!
In addition, you can add the following line to the [Options] section of the MSDOS.SYS file (as above):
BootMenuDelay=(number)
With (number) being the number of seconds your machine will pause on the "Boot Menu." If the timer counts down to zero before any action is taken, then the BootMenuDefault is then loaded.
