Linux kernels later than 1.3.14 are compatible with On Track Drive
Manager. I have seen mixed reports on rather LILO is compatible,
however, so have been using LOADLIN (which runs from DOS) instead.
I figured that it was bad enough with both Win95 and DM messing with the
MBR and didn't want to compound matters.
