You should have a Win98 boot floppy from which you can boot. (If you haven't,
ask a friend to make one.) From DOS you can restore the MBR with the command:
fdisk /mbr

When installing kernel and modules, choose `cdrom' and then `default'. You
shouldn't need to enter any directory there.
If you have more questions about installing or using Debian, please post them
