The "name" part of the 98 partition is in NT format, so the bootloader 
thinks it wants to load an NT of some kind.  Here's my boot.ini, by 
contrast (quoted so my newsreader won't complain about the long lines):

Note that the DOS-based OS (98) is specified using DOS semantics (C:\)

Unforunately, you're likely to find that 98 just won't boot off of D: .  The
bootloader has the C:\ hardcoded in it in several places.
