After install-to-hd to /dev/hda2, you should have a hd.bat file in the 
baslin directory  consisting of

loadlin zimage root=/dev/hda2 rw

loadlin  - linux loader
zimage - linux kernel (it can be named other things such as zimage.p1)
root - where the linux file system is located (second partition on first 
drive, had, which is attached to IDE0 - primary IDE controller).
rw - mount filesystem so you can read and write to it
