As an alternative you may wish to consider loadin. This is just a dos
utility which will boot linux. You can either configure it up so you
need just press F4 during boot to get to linux, or by using the DOS
menu's in your autoexec.bat. This also allows you to reboot to linux at
any time by just calling loadlin with the right parametres.

***My Config.sys***
[MENU]
MENUITEM=Linux, Linux 2.0.34
MENUITEM=Linux2, Alternate Kernal (test)
MENUITEM=Windoze, WINDOZE... put on your seatbelt!
MENUDEFAULT=Linux,10

[Linux]

[Linux2]

[Windoze]
***EOF***

***Autoexec.bat***
goto %CONFIG%

:Linux
 c:\loadlin\loadlin.exe c:\loadlin\zImage root=/dev/hda3 ro

:Linux2
 c:\loadlin\loadlin.exe c:\loadlin\zTest root=/dev/hda3 ro

:Windoze
***EOF***
        Good luck with it, and enjoy!

                                        Brod.
