I will try lilo with our test linux drive that has BL2 on it.  Is it easy 
to remove lilo after putting it on, for instance usnig the ramdrive 
version of BL2 to do so?    I think it installs something to the master 
boot record.

Problem is that I won't know if it helped because the problem is 
intermittent.  I had thought PCDOS (IBM) helped but apparently not, the 
computer must just have fixed itself before i booted with PCDOS.  And it 
may just be coincidence that it always booted linux from Win98 DOS (but 
the odds are against that).
