Boot disk quit working after second install

[Erik Ryberg <ryberg@seanet.com>]

Hello,

I have a 6 gig hard drive with debian on the first 4 gigs.  I installed an old SUSE last
night on the last 2 gigs in order to try out MySQL which allegedly came with that
distribution.

I boot debian with a boot disk as I have, sigh, Windows on another drive and I had a
scary experience once with LILO that I don't care to repeat.

Now I can't boot anything on my Linux drive.  My boot disk (and backup boot disks) runs
in the A drive but windows 95 starts right up each time.

Seems like probably whenever I attempt to boot it tries and fails to startup SUSE,
perhaps because it is too far out in my hard drive?  Any suggestions what to do or which
HOW-TO to read would be appreciated.  I don't care about the SUSE but would sort of like
to get my Debian back!

It's an antique Cyrix 686.

Thanks very much.
