Mark Clark:
   No, I had no idea.  You mean DOS will need to be loaded befor LINUX
   each time.  Loaded=booted?

Yes.

So, you're going to need a system dos partition with:
io.sys       [normally hidden]
msdos.sys    [normally hidden]
command.com
config.sys
movepci.sys
loadlin.exe  [or equivalent]
whatever else you feel you need, like probably a linux kernel...

My config.sys is basically:
device=c:\movepci.sys
shell=c:\command.com /p /k c:\boot.bat

boot.bat is, basically:
loadlin vmlinuz TERM=linux
