You forgot to say how you have provided for the dual booting. Are you using lilo? grub? If lilo, is it on the mbr (/dev/hda) or on /dev/hda3? Anyway, if you have problems after moving/resizing the partitions, boot from the Debian CD, write "linux root=/dev/hda3" at the lilo prompt, and you'll boot into linux. Then take whatever measures applicable (like running /sbin/lilo as root if you use lilo to boot).
