Default W98 DOS on a FAT32 partition - booting causes a reboot (solved)

However, when I than restart there just is a delay of about 10 seconds,
after which it reboots.


The problem was that repartitioning did not rewrite the MBR boot code - it
was still the GRUB loader from the previous Linux OS on that disk.

And ofcourse I only remembered "fdisk /mbr" *after* I killed the MBR
(filling the sector with zeroes). Luckily I had not done much before
testing if it would actually boot. :-)
