You'll have to partition your drive(s) and install Win'9x first.
Otherwise, you'll need a boot manager that can hide the OS/2 partition.

One way around this problem is to setup both OS/2 and Win'9x on primary
partitions, that way one can't see (interfere with) the other.

The better way to do it (so that OS/2 can see the files on the Win'9x
partition) is to install OS/2 to a logical drive. Like I said, install
Win'9x first to a primary (C:) partition, then OS/2, or hide the OS/2
partition before installing Win'9x.

In the Win'98 setup/installation it will inform you that it found "other
operating system files" and ask if you would like to remove them. Say
"NO". Format the C: partition (for the Win'9x installation) manually.
