Hmm...  I seem to recall the DCONFIG/AUTODOS7 used to be used when
dual-booting, but perhaps that changed since I last installed OpenDOS (as it
was then; 7.02 uses CONFIG.SYS/AUTOEXEC.BAT on my machine).

Anyway, you could try opening IBMBIO.COM in a hex editor and changing
references to DCONFIG.SYS to CONFIG.SYS followed by a NULL (0); that might
make it look at CONFIG.SYS; then open COMMAND.COM and change AUTODOS7 to
AUTOEXEC.  Be sure to keep backups of the files though because you'll want
to swap them back if something doesn't work as expected.

Perhaps Matthias knows if/how this can be done properly though...
