As learned from someone who read it in OS/2 Professional mag:

1. Put your alternate copies of config.sys in the /os2/boot directory.

2. Give each copy a single-letter file extension; for example,
config.a, config.b, config.d...

3. Find the altf1bot.scr file in /os2/boot.  It will be empty or maybe
contain a line
   return.  Edit this file so it can display the prompts for your choices.  For
example,
   add:   A - Load sound
            B - Load Netware
            D - Load Peer-Peer

4. In Desktop Settings, select the Archive tab.  Check the Display
Recovery Choices at
   each restart option.

At start-up, you will see your text from altf1bot.scr below the
standard os/2 restart selections.  Press the key for the choice of
config.x you want to use.  Tip: in handing out letters for naming your
file extensions, don't use 'C', 'M', or letters pre-reserved by OS/2
(see the 'restart' screen for what they are.

I have been down that route but there are some serious limitations. Take
your example above. If I wanted sound & peer-peer but no netware that would
be a separate config.sys. If I wanted netware and sound that would be a
separate config.sys. So with 3 possiable selections I would need 9
config.sys files to cover all the posiable combinations! If I wanted 4
selections that would require 16 files, ect...! You can see that in a
complicated set-up with multiple configurations that this is not a fesiable
solution.
