Also mainly because I didn't see this mentioned; your primary NT boot partition(if its the first partition of the HD) needs to be fat16 not NTFS or win98 will not read the boot sector. Win98 cannot read NTFS partitions natively........sorry if I am stating the obvious......but some may not know.....
don't forget that when u install 98 after NT u will not be able to boot to NT anymore and install it would boot straight to NT, so what u have to do is boot ur computer (once u have installed 98) with the NT setup disks and just choose the REPAIR isntallation and it would put a boot menu for u next time u boot ur computer
....and also if you have trouble getting rid of that NTFS partition with FDISK and don't have partition magic, i've posted great Partition Utility that I found ages ago that can get rid of any Partition, be it NTFS, HPFS, FAT(x), Linux etc.
Download it at www.tcnf.fsnet.co.uk and goto the downloads section --> "OSAddons".
It's pretty easy to use and then you can install a FAT 32 partition with ease.
Goodluck
