Jep, you can boot a kernel using loadlin.
loadlin [kernel_name] root=/dev/[root_partitiion]

EHm... you can reboot?

Jep, you will have to buy vmware (and you need a fast machine)
then you can use vmware to boot a virual computer. Which can run
win98

>4.  Or will I always have to reboot to move from one to the other?
See 3.
