I resolved the problem of booting Linux by making my win98 drive hda again and reinstalled Debian on hdb (at the moment, I am just experimenting with Linux....). This works fine, I have to fine-tune loadlin, but that works. When trying to load loadlin from config.sys with the [menu] command, it works the first time, but after that, windoze has rewritten the config.sys and erased the line that loads linux.bat (which activates loadlin). Has anyone experiences with that?
