Jan 8, 2025 at 20:50 comment added Eike Pierstorff @Justme nothing of course. I was just taking the "skip" too literally (as in "skipping even opening the file" instead of "skipping the execution"). Sorry for the noise.
Jan 8, 2025 at 19:42 comment added Justme @EikePierstorff I don't know but what would prevent reading in the file, parsing it first what kind of things reads there, and then executing the commands that load other files like device drivers in order, after things like SWITCHES? There's also /N which prevents you from using F5 and F8.
Jan 8, 2025 at 19:21 comment added Eike Pierstorff How can a button press that skips config.sys completely disabled via a setting in config.sys (should I put this in it's own question?) ?
Jan 7, 2025 at 0:56 comment added davolfman I used to use the F8 pretty frequently before I started setting up boot menus.
