I could be wrong, but I don't think the NT boot loader can properly
handle W95 and W98 at the same time from it's boot menu.

I would suggest looking into creating a 2nd primary partition to install
W95 on, and use a boot manager to select the W95 primary or the W98/NT
primary to boot from. At the risk of sounding like a broken record,
Partition Manager is a great tool for this job and includes a boot
manager.

Also take a look at Lee Chapelle's web site where you will find some
good information on multi-booting, and the partitioning and boot manager
software needed to do it. Especially see the FAQ pages.

You cant have win95 and win98 on the same partition.
A separate partition is a must.
