I ended up with a 7M /boot partition, 2 - 2G FAT16
partitions (Win98 & NT tend to screw up each other's
"Program Files" directories when on the same
partition) and a 16G / partition. So far, they're all
happy (except Win98 seems to like corrupting its own
space frequently, but I already knew that).
Thanks for all the help, folks.
