I'm not sure how much Merge386 has changed, we're still running version 1.3.
Under that version, startup options such as which config.sys files are loaded
are stored in files in the /etc directory.  dosenv.def options are used when
starting the dos envirnment with a 'dos' command, dosapp.def is used when 
starting dos programs from the unix command line.  These files can be read and
modified using the dosopt program (note that the -v option is required to
see anything).  Don't try to modify these files with an editor like vi.  The
dosopt program can also be used on individual dos programs, to change their
default behaviour when executed from unix (dos programs run from the dos
environment are not separate unix processes, and are unaffected by any changes
to their own dos execution header, or dosapp.def).

Good luck,
Dan
