I think your options here are limited. :-( Someone will correct me if I am
mistaken. ;-) DOS HAS to be on the first primary partition and I think
the same is true of win95/98/NT. Therefore with one disk you'd be stuck
with something like:
/dev/hda1 * START STOP SIZE FAT16 for dos and windoze
/dev/hda2 * START STOP SIZE Linux whatever
.
.
/dev/hdan START STOP SIZE Linux whatever
Maybe with two disks you could be allowed:
/dev/hda1 * START STOP SIZE FAT16 for dos
/dev/hda2 * START STOP SIZE Linux whatever
.
.
/dev/hdan START STOP SIZE Linux whatever
/dev/hdb1 * START STOP SIZE FAT32 for win98
.
.
/dev/hdbn START STOP SIZE whatever you need room for
I don't really think win98 allows for booting from the secondary disk when
it can see a (mostly) compatible primary. You may have to disable the
primary disk in the bios everytime you want to start win98.
Good Luck!
