Yes, put DOS on your first partition and make
it bootable. Then put loadlin.exe and zimage
in C:\ and create an autoexec.bat that looks
like this:
--------------------------------
loadlin zimage root=/dev/hda2 ro
--------------------------------

When DOS boots, it automatically runs autoexec.bat
(which automatically boots Linux).

Cheers,
