%I have this situation on a NEC PowerMate/386 with 2M of memory installed,

I have the same NEC machine you have, and had the same problem, until...

one of two things happened...

1) I finally clicked the "save current settings" when exiting program
   manager...

2) I installed a PERMANENT 5MB swap.

Now, my NEC boots windows into enhanced mode automatically and I don't
have to add /3 to the command line.

Good luck!
