I would recommend you to delete these lines as well. The DOS codepage and keyboard table are useless here. And - as you have already seen - things been loaded within dos (especially tsr-programs) might affect other OSes - since no "hard reboot" is done, these things remain in memory. These DOS drivers can cause strange behaviour: these days I needed to flash the firmware of my wireless lan card. Tried to boot to "plain dos" gave me no success, the flash tool exited with an error. After I tried many things (tried to install Win to get "real" access to the pcmcia ports instead of the "port only" access through the flash tool and several other things) suddenly writing to the card worked. Did a clean reboot as I didn't want to run the flash tool in a "uncertain" environment - same error as in the beginning. In the end loading exactly these codepages and the german keyboard driver were the causes for the error message. Removing everything from config.sys and autoexec.bat was the solution. Using lilo or grub seems the best and most clean solution to me.
