What I have done is similar to what Susan suggest in using LOADLIN, but I
have setup a menuitem in config.sys to handle it. The line I use in the
config.sys file is:
shell=c:\loadlin.exe c:\vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6 ro
This assumes my root file system is on hda6. This way when I boot I have
the option presented to me. It is very much like LILO, but is all done
through DOS/WIN95 utilities (when I started using linux, I was more
comfortable doing it this way).
