The easiest way to do that is to use Microsoft's TweakUI
utility for Windows 95.

Get it here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/WUToy
s/W95PwrToysSet/Default.asp

Click the Boot tab, and enable the Boot menu.

Windows will then show the boot menu and you just have to
choose the DOS prompt.

Basic INP and OUT instructions are essentially illegal when DOS is running
under Windows. The system gets around this by providing the DOS session with
a virtual port driver, so that DOS applications think that INP and OUT (or
their equivalent in another language) are directly accessing the I/O port.
They are actually accessing a Windows device driver that in turn uses
Windows procedures to access the I/O port in a properly managed way.
