  It may have been easier to load Win98 first, with the C: being FAT16. Then add
NT. It would put a few boot files on C:, but the rest could be on your SCSI. I
think the boot sector is seeing two active partitions and getting very confused.

  The above would essentially mean your IDE would be the 'boot' drive, but it's
effect on NT should be minimal if nothing other than the boot files are on the
IDE. If your NT drive is formatted NTFS, Win98 won't even know it's there.
