One I tried was called "BOOT.COM" and was available at SIMTEL.  It was
loaded in config.sys then paused for user input as to how to boot up.
Depending on the choice, you could have different routines in both config.sys
and autoexec.bat.  I used it for a while and it worked ok for me, but for some
unknown reason I stopped using it.

If going to SIMTEL is not in your bag of tricks, perhaps I can dig it up.
