Registry access in DOS mode

Hello all,
I was curious if there was a way to access registry keys and values while in DOS mode? My computer has Windows XP and say I boot up from a 98 bootable floppy and go into DOS, is there a program that I can use to see what is in the registry to verify that a certain key/value is there? I don't really need to be able to edit the registry, just need to get values for comparison?

TIA,
anthony
