Then i've added the line c:\bootsect.lnx="Debian Linux" to XPs boot.ini. Now i get the message "boot failure" when i select Linux from the XP boot menu.

Invalid Boot.INI ???
There are a couple of ways to go here, since you're using XP. I run XP also, but installed it as an upgrade so didn't go through the DOS section of the setup. This process will place the boot loader (ntldr) and other necessary files on the drive, and proceed to install the operating system.
