I'd suggest you use lilo instead of loadlin.

I'd also suggest to split /dev/hda2 into a 64MB hda2 and hda3 for
the system.

After that you should install lilo with a similar configuration like:

boot=/dev/hda3

or

boot=/dev/hda if you're using MBR

root=/dev/hda3
compact
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=2
delay=10
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.29
  label=Linux
  alias=l
  read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.29.works
  label=works
  read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.29.debian
  label=old
  read-only
other=/dev/hda1
  label=lose
  alias=w
