- I am using Boot ROMs too. The booting process always looks for
- AUTOEXEC.BAT in the current search path. So what I did was move
- AUTOEXEC.BAT to one of the directories in the path. It was not
- necessary to create \LOGIN directories on the user volumes, nor
- to alter the DOS PATH or to MAP a search drive to SYS:\LOGIN.
- This is true for remote booting, at least.

- Thanks to you, and thanks to John Villalovos, for putting me on the
- right track!
