This never worked for me. I suggested getting BOOTPART (BOOTPA20.ZIP)
and using that, it will set it up for you and can also set up booting
both 95 and DOS separately from the menu, FreeBSD etc.
It doesn't copy the boot sector from your Linux partition but puts
a redirector one in instead as C:\BOOTSECT.LNX.
