	The "LI" message indicates that the Linux bootloader is trying to
run. If you have your Linux rescue disk, boot to linux Rescue and use 
fdisk to sort it out. Usually W98 will overwrite the boot record; 
possibly it installed to a non-active partition? If you can use a bootdisk
to get to W98 DOS mode, do  fdisk /mbr
	W98 doesn't recognize linux partitions, this can be a problem. If
you can get Tom's Rootboot from www.toms.net/rb/ and make the floppy,
its an excellent rescue disk for most purposes.
