Tap the F8 key during bootup. Then select the "command prompt only"
option from the boot menu.

Thanks for the suggestion. I wish though. It just boots to safe mode,
no menu ever appears. Its a faulty and heavily customised version of
95, without even the windows shell or memory manager.
Add the following line to the msdos.sys file in your root directory:
BootMenu=1
Or try ...
BootGUI=0
You may first need to change the attributes of the file from hidden
and/or read-only.
