The best thing to do, though, is to add the following to your Win95-boot MSDOS.SYS (you'll need to attrib -r -a -s -h msdos.sys and then re-attrib it): Under [options] BootMulti=1 BootMenu=1 BootMenuDelay=5 BootMenuDefault=1 >F4 won't work in the middle beta's unless you edit the msdos.sys >(described in the Beta notes) but it works fine in the newest beta's. This works a lot better than hitting F4 at just the right time.
