If you are not going to use a boot loader, then the only solution that I
know of would be to install each OS on a different drive or partition and
change the boot drive in the BIOS depending on the OS that you want to run.
I can't imagine why you would want to do that, but it's possible.

Win98 will not create a boot menu but WinXP will. You only need to modify
the boot.ini to remove any choice but XP.

I'm trying to "Dual Boot" using an older version of Win98 and a "newer"
version. I also have XP that I wish to install, along with the two
versions of 98, but I might not.
What is the best way to install each of these OS's and not have to have
a boot loader at startup? I know that when I install XP, it will
automatically install the boot loader, but I'd like to bypass that also.
Any help will be most appreciated.
