I'm guessing that the boot floppy dosn't recognize the fat32
partitions on /dev/hdb. If you have partition magic,
convert your second hard drive to fat16.
If I were you I would use linux to format the /dev/hdb
to ext2, before installing. Apparently win98 has done
something to the second disk which linux can't recognize.
As a minimum, you need 1 big ext2 partition, and 1 swap
partition, which is about the size of your ram.
You can boot linux off the floppy, then run
fdisk /dev/hdb
Then remove the partitions on /dev/hdb,
then create 2 primary partitions, 1 ext2 and
1 swap. Then try installing again.
You can try to install on top of the fat16
partition, but I wouldn't recommend it.
