Have you put the config= as the very last statement in autoexec.bat? That is what the Oracle install docs say to do. Why does the boot menu process get bothered by a statement in the autoexec.bat?

You would think that whoever wrote the Oracle installation would have realized that using a generic variable name like "config" was kind of arrogant, why didn't they call it "oconfig" or "oraconfig"?

Just my 2 cents worth,
