Please provide the text in Chinese again. The original input seems to be incomplete. If you want to translate "求DOS启动时选择从光盘、硬盘、软盘的最简单的方法，不用gr", the full Chinese text should be "求DOS启动时选择从光盘、硬盘、软盘的最简单的方法，不用grub" probably. So the translation would be "Ask for the simplest method to choose to boot from CD - ROM, hard disk, floppy disk when DOS starts, without grub" - China DOS Union Forum

The simplest way to select from CD, hard disk, and floppy during DOS startup without using GRUB?

I want to make a DOS CD boot disk myself. When booting, a menu like the following should appear:

1. Boot from Disk
2. Boot from CD-ROM
3. Boot from Floppy
4. reboot

When using the up and down arrow keys to select the corresponding menu and pressing Enter, or when entering 1, 2, 3, or 4, it can boot from the hard disk, CD-ROM, floppy, and restart respectively. It should be simple and good. Can it be achieved without GRUB? Please help me, experts.

I already know that adding the following in config.sys:

MENUITEM=DISK, Boot from Disk
MENUITEM=CDROM, Boot from CD-ROM
MENUITEM=FLOPPY, Boot from Floppy
MENUITEM=reboot, reboot

Then what? With this, the menu will appear during startup, but how to boot from the corresponding disk after pressing 1, 2, 3, 4?

I also added the following content in AUTOEXEC.BAT. Only the reboot is successful, and the others are all not working. What's the matter?

goto %config%

ISK
boot 80
GOTO END

:CDROM
MSCDEX.exe /D:IDE-CD
GOTO END

:FLOPPY
boot 0
GOTO END

:reboot
reboot
GOTO END

:END

This can't be achieved in the config, right? :)
