How to autostart dosemu at login?

I have modified inittab to add

c3:1235:respawn:/ssbin/agetty -n -l /bin/autolog 38400 tty3
linux

where:
/bin/autolog is just:

#!/bin/sh
/bin/login -f root

That works fine, since there is no password.

Now I still need to start dosemu.  So I added to
~/.bash_profile the line /usr/bin/dosemu&

that starts dosemu automatically, but what happens is that
the keyboard stays with the shell, not dosemu.

How could I start dosemu automatically.  It will not
work if I start it in inittab, because it needs the root
environment to read its .dosemurc

Thanks in advance
