Nobody knows what was in your dosstart.bat, maybe you can show what is in your autoexec.bat and config.sys and what cdrom you have, then we can make an educated guess.
Just need the CD-Rom make and model, and we can do it for you...
Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive, bubble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine. -- Dr. Perry Cox
creative labs used to have an excellent commandline util called CTLOAD, that loaded sys device drivers from the commandline without having to put in config.sys...
i sold my sb32, and forgot to retain that, anyone know if it's still around? or included on sblive discs?

If you're not sure what you're doing, try this:
Make a win98 startup disk, then copy the oakcdrom.sys to somewhere on your HDD, and then look in the config.sys and autoexec.bat on that startup disk. Copy the config.sys line referring to the oakcdrom.sys to your real config.sys on the root of your C: drive. (Even better: make a boot menu) and copy the line from the autoexec.bat referrring to mscdex.exe on the startup disk to the dosstart.bat.
