Then just load it twice.
I did that when I added a mint.cnf option for turning on/off memory
protection and it worked perfectly.
(I normally only keep a 'boot-loader' in c:/auto (with the rest of the
 auto-programs scattered across three or four partitions on two different
 drives) and I didn't want to rename that to MINTNP.PRG, which would
 otherwise have been necessary since MiNT itself wouldn't know where it
 was run from.)

The 'pre-load' can be rather simple since it only has to search for a
couple of well defined options, such as
 protected
 boot c:/mint
Anything else would just be skipped.
