Hi,
I would like a disk to autostart with autoexec.bas and then load sofarom and automatically a ROM image.
Is this hard?
Does anyone have an example?

Hi,

N.
I did put loadrom.com on a disk together with a ROM and used:
loadrom kv2.rom and then i get a type mismatch error
Did you put this in an AUTOEXEC.BAT file?
Did you put MSXDOS.SYS and COMMAND.COM on the disk?
No i did not. I am afraid I don't know how it works. Is there a difference between AUTOEXEC.BAT versus .BAS?
Can I download such a bootable disk somewhere?
Thnx
Does someone have a .dsk image of a complete bootdisk?
What's a good program on PC to edit AUTOEXEC.BAS on PC?
Thnx

Well, managed to make a bootable disk with autoexec.bas msxdos.com and command.com... it boots 
What's a good program to edit .bas files on PC?
I don't think these can be edited on a PC. They are not plain text files. So you'll have to create and or edit these on your MSX (while being in Basic, not in DOS). Just a few things to get you started:
Commands to open and save files
load "autoexec.bas"
save "autoexec.bas"
Command to see what's inside
list
Command to run a file
run
Editing is done just by typing. If you prefix your command with a number they are stored in memory. Like this
10 print "hello world"
20 goto 10
list
save "hello.bas"
run
Press ctrl+stop to terminate this program. You'll have to learn to program in Basic to create more complex programs and loaders.
I got it to work 
Thank you very much. Very helpful.
Great! As a rule of thumb, you will need 256kB memory to play 128kB games, and 512kB memory to play 256kB games. And if you happen to have a SCC cartridge plug it in slot 2 to enjoy the true sounds of those Konami games.
Thank you! I have 512KB so I should shoud be able to get all to work. That's in fact the case except for Space Manbow... too bad as I really liked that game. Do you know where to buy SCC catridge? Or should I then buy something like Carnivore?
Space Manbow has had MX2 extension.. it's starts loading with romload and shows the Konami logo but then resets.
Any ideas?
