That and the history are pretty much what I was thinking of. NT
certainly may have had it, but 9x did not unless installed seperately.

Actually Linux does have a boot sequence although I don't remember exactly
what it is. It does load certain config files based on the hardware and I
suspect for Tivo there are config files for the MPEG encoder and video
hardware. I don't think the OP was implying that Tivo uses Autoexec and
Config but rather that the OS has similar files that are accessed at boot
time and he is correct about that.
