You will get a lot of replies telling you about using lilo or grub.
For some reason nobody ever recommends using LOADLIN.EXE. I think they
think it's ideologically unsound. I think it's cool. If it's so
unsound, why is it on my Debian install CD? :-)
I triple-boot Windoze 98, DOS 6.22 and Linux.

From what I can see it looks like you should install it in the MBR. When you

Only use kernel 2.4 on test systems which you can afford to have go down
