I'm no expert on DOS and especially not on Windows,
but I'm about 90% sure that should be fine. About the
only situation where I might have a little hesitation
would be if Win98 and DR-DOS are on different
partitions.
In that case, I'm not sure if the DR-DOS fdisk knows
enough to look for other bootable partitions... or if
there's a way for you to tell it.
The sure way to do it is to specify in lilo.conf
and put exactly what you want on the MBR.
