It's \dosutils\autoboot\autoboot.bat. You need to boot from a floppy that
has cd-rom support or boot to dos from Windows if you have enabled cd-rom
support for dos. I have a boot floppy just for this purpose that uses the
autoexec.bat file to accomplish all this, I make the cd drive always
initialize as the J:\ drive and then
cd J:\
J:\dosutils\autoboot.autoboot.bat
and off you go. Just as handy as the boot.img for installing, or maybe
handier, since you don't run into boot.img version problems.
