Here is what I have, which works fine with Boot Manager.
boot=/dev/hda6
root=/dev/hda6
compact
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
delay=20
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only

This also works, but requires booting to DOS before loadlin can be run.
I normally use Boot Manager (with Linux as the default), but have batch
files in my Win95 and DOS 6.2 partitions so I can easily use loadlin to
get back to Linux, including an icon on the Win95 screen to call up the
batch file (I need to change it to the penguin one of these days).
