Here is a snippet from my modified autoexec.bat

:: NET START BASIC /yes

@set USERNAME=user
@set PASSWORD=password
@NET LOGON %USERNAME% %PASSWORD% /yes /savepw:no

This way the username/password is available to the install script also, and
any setting in system.ini is ignored.

The only real solution for this is having the disk timeout and boot from the
harddisk, unless you select a floppy boot.

You could do this for a floppy by installing syslinux on the floppy, and
having syslinux boot either from HD (default) or from floppy.  I believe the
CD already does this.
