I had this problem some time ago. There is a file in the \Windows folder
DOSSTART.BAT that is run when you boot to dos prompt. My drivers were
always loaded in CONFIG.SYS but not is AUTOEXEC.BAT. When I loaded them in
AUTOEXEC the performance of WIN95 suffered. I don't remember how I found
out about DOSSTART but when I put the entry there whenever I booted to the
dos prompt the drivers were loaded and I could access the CDROM.
