I reported this same problem last week and got no responses, so feel lucky that
people were at least reading your post...
I caused my problem doing an update, not the initial install, so it's something
that's changed from Beta2, which is what I originally installed.
My solution (not a very good one BTW) was to boot with a floppy of something
prior to Win95 (Aka WIN3.11, DOS) and reinstall Win98! I tried FDISK /MBR,
then completely deleting the Windows partition with Partition Magic and
creating a new one (after backing up anything I wanted to save of course, since
I could still read the drive under Linux), but nothing I did would allow me to
boot from a Win95/98/xx boot disk.
Just in case anyone is interested, my setup is:
ASUS P3B-F Motherboard (6 PCI, 0 ISA model) with PIII 450
128 MB RAM
Quantum Fireball 18.2GB HD
Standard floppy (not LS-120)
Creative Labs Graphics Blaster TNT2 Ultra
SB Live! Value
LinkSys EtherFast 10/100 Network card
Microsoft Intellimouse with Intellieye USB (works!)
Nokia 446XS Monitor with USB hub connecting the next 2 devices
Lexmark Z51 (haven't got this working yet)
Visioneer 6xxx USB Scanner (haven't got this working yet)
