I have a floppy that I'm trying to make into a Multi-Boot Disk.

I have created the floppy so that it has two choices.
(1) Boot to WIndows 2000 - Which is on the hard drive
(2) Boot to Windows 98 - Which is on the floppy
(This Windows 98 is only the command line version)

Here is what my Boot.ini file looks like

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=A:[operating systems]
A:\="Microsoft Windows"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2000"


And of course I have all the files necessary on the floppy.
ntldr, ntdetect.com, command.com for W98, etc.

The Windows 2000 part boots just fine.
But the Windows 98 part fails.

It basically just reboots the PC if I try to boot to the Windows 98.

Any Help or Ideas? Or some third party tools that might help? ALL GREATLY APPRECIATED
I've tried boot.exe so far...didn't really work! :( Dave Namou, MCSE CCEA
