No, it uses a separate CONFIG.SYS in the \OS2\BOOT directory.  CONFIG.X, I
think.  It's a bit of pain to find, but once I found it, I changed it so that
it didn't load up my sound drivers and anything else I am unlikely to need
when I boot to command line (which I only do if I've messed my CONFIG.SYS up).

Of course, make sure your normal CONFIG.SYS works ok before changing the
CONFIG.X file otherwise you'll have to boot off floppy!

bcnu,

Richard.
