Just had this happen to me a work, only with an NT system.
Modify /etc/lilo.conf and add another boot option for DOS. Make the label
equal "DOS" and point the device to the partition that contained your DOS
partition. Make sure to run "lilo" before you reboot. "man lilo.conf"
shows you how to do it in one example.
