Usually loadling is started from a batch file. here's mine:
@echo off
c:\msdos\smartdrv.exe /C
C:\loadlin\loadlin zimage root=/dev/hdb1
The second line makes sure the smartdrive cache is empty.
The third starts loadlin. zimage is a copy from your kernel (probably at
/boot/zImage
or /vmlinuz ) You do need to copy this file to loadlin's directory.
root=/dev/hdb1 specify's where the linux partion is.

Don't edit mtab. edit fstab with any editor you like, but be carefull with
the internal formating.
