I have the following partitions:
hda5 - /boot
hda6 - /
hda1 - a FAT partition for Windows 98
hda2 - an extended partition, I assume connected to the Windows installation

When I installed Gentoo and configured Grub, I did:

root (hd0,4)
setup (hd0)

and copied an old grub.conf that seems to be correct. Now Linux boots fine,
but selecting Windows hangs. Presumably I installed the MBR in the wrong
place and overwrote the Windows loader? Someone on #gentoo suggested I boot
with the Windows boot disk and do an fdisk /mbr. That stopped bootup from
finding grub, but Windows hung at the same place.

Any suggestions on how to fix this, given these tools: the Windows 98 SE CD
and the boot disk generated by the Windows installer?

(This is veering off into Windows question territory but, since I'm writing
-- is there a way to download or otherwise obtain the a copy of the original
boot floppy for the Windows box set?)
