I'm assuming you mean the loopback version (with loadlin and fs.img).

Do you press F8 a bunch of times at boot to get the startup menu, and do you
select Safe Mode Command Prompt Only there?

It shouldn't be too fast: I can run BL that way on a 2.6GHz Celeron. I've also
gotten it to boot with the DOS of Windows 98, so that's not the problem 
either.

Can you post the last few lines of error messages, and/or detail the steps you
use to try to boot? That would help greatly in resolving this.
