Don't do this. Just use lilo so you can boot dos or Linux.

If your dos partition is the first partition of your first HD (IDE)
you could add the following lines to the end of your /etc/lilo.conf
file:
other = /dev/hda1
table = /dev/hda
label = dos
You would want to make sure that you had a reasonable timeout or
a prompt from lilo. Timeout's for lilo are in 10ths of a second.
As you can see there are a few things you'll want to know about
lilo before you start messing around. Look at the documentation
found by doing:
zless /usr/doc/lilo/Manual.txt.gz
Then you can change your /etc/lilo.conf file to your liking and
afterwards don't forget to run /sbin/lilo to put the changes
into effect.

I'll leave these questions to those deep in the knowledge of the
inner workings of dselect/dpkg.
