First you are loading things high before you have loaded your himem.sys
and emm386.exe files
what's with the .98 stuff? you dont want to run windows programs to you
real dos....never do a "reboot in to dos mode" or "shut down to
ms dos mode" cuz you are still in windows.....
this is your config for booting a floppy...slightly changed...

config.sys

device=A:\Boots\HiMem.98
device=A:\Boots\EMM386.98 RAM i=f000-f7ff
devicehigh=A:\Boots\VIDE-CDD.Sys /d:mscd001 /p:168,12 /p:170,15
/p:1e8,11
/p:1f0,14
~what are the /p: options for?~
country=002,850,A:\Boots\Country.sys
dos=high,umb
~why noauto?
dos=noauto
~what is this??~
installhigh=A:\Boots\SHSUCDX.Exe /d:mscd001,y
~what is this???~
installhigh=A:\Boots\UKKeyn_C.Com
~get rid of this...you never need a shell..it just take up memory...~
shell=A:\Boots\4DOS.Com A:\Boots\ @A:\Boots\4DOS.#Z /P

~load these last so they can use highmem~
break=on
buffershigh=10
fcbshigh=1,0
fileshigh=40  <--Any resion its 40 ?? i keep mine at 20...
lastdrivehigh=z
numlock=on
stackshigh=0,0 <-- i never did bother to find out what this did...never
needed it....
{eof}

autoexec.bat
~What is this dos32a stuff you talk about?~ are you in DOS or are you
running something else....looks like you want both
why does the drive euphoria sits on change depending on the way you
boot??? this seam's to load every time so i put it in..but some looks
like it is not needed for dos....
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 E620 T6
set DOS32A=%D0%\TOOLS\DOS32A <--what is this....
set MIDI=MAP:E MODE:0 SYNTH:1
set EUDIR=%D0%\TOOLS\EUPHORIA
set PATHD32A=%D0%\TOOLS\DOS32A\BINW
set PATHEU=%D0%\TOOLS\EUPHORIA\BIN
set PATHPACC=%D0%\TOOLS\PACIFIC\BIN
set PATHPOV=%D0%\TOOLS\POV-RAY;%D0%\TOOLS\POVLAB
set POVRAYOPT=-LD:\COMMON\POV#INC
set SOUND=K:\&TOOLS\CREATIVE\CTSND
set TZ=GMT0BST

put the rest of your dos needed things here..i cant decide what way you
are booting for dos so i have no clue what you need...
{eof}

You should goto a bas config and astat adding only what you need...looks
like alot of extra stuff is in here that is not needed...
you should have a boot dosk for each cinfig you use but keep all the
boot files for all configs in c:\Boot or some thing like that..A) to
keep it all together and B) for faster floppy boots...Sorry i could not
help more but there are drivers that i have no clue as to what they do
so i cat say if they are needed for a pure dos boot or not..
