Can anybody direct me to a page where they tell you how to set up a dual
boot?

NT's bootloader should set this up automaticly (worked this way with our test
systems). Is the system already setup or are you just contemplating the idea?

Make sure you're not using FAT32, though. Apart from that, you should be
able to install NTWS4 directly on top of Windows 98 (as you could with
Windows 95) and the installation program will set up a dual-boot feature
auto-magically for you.

(Don't know why you'd bother with Win98 if you had NTWS, apart from
playing games, but still...)

True, but there are some games that require Win95/98 but won't run under NT
(Direct3D games, for instance).
