The only way to have more than one OS without having some
kind of bootloader or having to have a floppy to boot
them up, is to have Separate Hard drives setup on a
switch. Each drive will have its own MBR and you will not
be able to see the other drive from one OS to the other.

Other than that, I am unaware of anyway to install OS's
on a dual boot system without having some kind of
bootloader. Whether it be XP's, a 3rd party, or a Floppy.

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.
