Is it a dual boot machine, Harry?  If so, did you install Lilo to the 
mbr?  I have found that to fsck up a lot of systems with "interesting" 
bioses.  The thing to do is install Lilo to the Linux boot partition and 
make that partition bootable (then, from DOS, run fdisk /mbr to restore 
the old mbr). It still works fine for dual boot.

In fact I recommend that procedure always, dual boot or no.
