I'm running an AST 386 w/ DOS 3.3, but I need to boot it under 2 different
configurations (with different TSR's).  I have written a batch file which
creates the correct config.sys and autoexec.bat file (depending on which
configuration I want), then runs boot.exe which simply calls DOS interrupt
0x19.  This works about 50% of the time, and hangs up somewhere in the
booting sequence 50% of the time.

Does anyone out there know what magic step I'm missing to make this work
more consistently?  or A better method?
