I have set up my system exactly like this. I also plan to install BeOS at
some point in the future too. (someone asked why anyone would do this - The
reason for me is to try to be fluent with all of these operating systems)
You need a separate primary partition for each, which you can switch between
at boot time (using Lilo, Boot Manager, or Boot Magic; I'm using Boot Magic
and it works fine). I also used Partition Magic 4.0 to resize my Win98
partition and create the Linux partition(s) and left a blank area for WinNT
to create it's own partition (using NT 4.0's NTFS - it didn't recognize PM's
NTFS partition, perhaps NT 4.1 might). Make sure that both Win98 and WinNT
have their primary partitions within the 1st 2GB of your drive otherwise
they may not boot, depending on your system BIOS.
