In my experience mulinux can exist on any partition.

I'm a little uncertain regarding your partition "numbers":
An unpartitioned disk is c: in DOS - /dev/hda1 in linux
When a part is set aside as an Extended partition and
that part is used as one undivided partition it is
d: in dos - but - /dev/hda5 (!) in linux -
If the extended partition is divided in smaller parts, they become
e: DOS - /dev/hda6 in linux
f: DOS - /dev/hda7 in linux
- and so on. Your I: should then be /dev/hda10.

First check the list above.
Next (as Michele said) check the file loadlin.cfg
which is the same directory as the linux.bat file.
The first two lines of the loadlin.cfg fil may look like these:
startup\boot\mulinuz
root=/dev/hda7 <<<<<< For your mulinux on i: the line shall perhaps
be changed to:
root=/dev/hda10
I hope this helps.
