That s right, the standard boot sector cannot be made a default which will 
be timed out. However, the software compatible LOADER by CCI (from 
their Multiuser DOS demo for example), uses a more verbose configuration
file format, and does allow to make the Standard boot sector the default.

Well, that s what SYS /DR:ext is for... (Yes, you re right too, it s not
documented in the offical OpenDOS docs, but please have a look 
at the docs available from my OpenDOS web-pages.)
