I see.  I suspect you will find that this is not possible.  You probably
cannot get NetWare to load or install successfully from a drive that boots
with Win 98.  You *can* do what you want with Windows NT, which has a boot
manager, but not Win 98 (also, not with later versions of Win 95.)

That's one of the reasons NetWare includes a bootable DR-DOS.

Here's an approach you might try:  When you want to run the NetWare server,
boot from a DOS diskette, preferably DOS v5 or 6.2x.
