I think you can use CTRL + C when it starts MS-DOS. It will ask you to run/step-through or skip config.sys and autotexec.bat.
No it doesn't. Tried it a couple of times on my 286. Ctr-C just terminates a command, ie stops it from running as does Ctrl-Break according to the Microsoft produced MS Dos 5 Users Guide and Reference dated 1991.

Note the stunning amount of new features MS Dos 5 included.

Apparently 32-bit is dead and nobody likes P4s.
Of course, as always, I'm open to correction...😉
