I remember reading a few years ago about 2 "load linux from dos"
programs, one is loadlin, but there was another one, I think it worked
by loading the boot record of another partition and executing it, not
loading a kernal image and ramdisk and executing those. I think this
2nd program began with a "s". Can someone help me figure out this
program?

Perhaps you are thinking of syslinux?
