Yes, that could be a problem Here's what I think the solution is going to be for you in the end:
Once you get that CF card unlocked, or get another one, you would do well to format it with two or three partions (if you want to keep Win/DOS on one partition) Install a bootable Windows/DOS on the first primary partion, then do a Frugal/grub install of DSL to the second partition, and choose to install GRUB in the MBR of the first partition, since the CF card is seen as a bootable hard drive. You could also use Lilo, but I just like GRUB because it's not just a Linux bootloader. GRUB or Lilo will let you set up a smooth dual boot for those two OSs on the same CF card. LOADLIN is nice for emergencies, but as you said, it loads DOS first and that can really make things confusing.???
