The way to do this is to install Win98 first and then install NT.  One
problem I experienced when doing this was the incompatibility of NT and
FAT32.  Install Win98 first on a regular FAT 16 partition.  Then install NT.
NT can be on NTFS.  NT will detect the Win98 install and add it to the
boot.ini file.  When you start the computer you should get a boot menu with
three selections: Window NT Workstation 4.0, Windows NT Workstation 4.0
(VGA), and Microsoft Windows.  This is what I have on my PC at home.  I use
NT for everything but games.  By doing this you shouldn't have to deal with
making partitions active or anything.
