There are two ways to solve your problem:

1. Replace your autoexec.bat with two other batch files with
   the switch in the shell command. The help system of DOS will
   explain you how to do this.

2. Just like in your config.sys you can place labels in your autoexec.bat
   with the same names you used in your config.sys. But the label-syntax
   in autoexec is different from the syntax used in config: while in your
   config.sys your labels look something lilke this:" [option1] "
   they should look like " :option1 " in your autoexec.bat.

Hope I could help you, 

  good luck!
