I've had problems with DOS bases OS's in logical partitions.  It seems
that they aren't smart enough to deal with (booting from) anything other
than a primary.  Fortunately, Linux doesn't care.  :)

Try putting DOS on /dev/hda{1|2|3|4} then Linux on whatever combination
of primary and logical you want.
