By trial and error I developed this step-by-step process:
1. Boot from the Nordahl disk
2. Accept the suggested NT partition.
3. Accept the full path to the registry directory.
4. Type system
5. Type 9 (for Registry Editor)
6. Type ? (to see the available commands)
7. Type ls (to see the current keys)
8. Type cd ControlSet003 (it's case-sensitive!)
9. Type cd Control
10. Type cd Session Manager
11. Type ed BootExecute
12. Type autocheck autochk *
13. Type --n
14. Type q
You will be prompted to save or discard your changes.
Type ? at any stage to see the available commands.
