Default Bootable hard drive and two hard drives and two OSs?

I want to install new hard drive I will set the jumpers to master and
cable select that I will run fdisk and then install windows 98SE. Do I
have to do anything in order to make it a bootable hard disk?

Also if I install the old drive as the slave and remove the master
jumper still with the older OS windows 98 will all hell break loss at
startup. Will the CPU not know what drive to boot with?

Can a slave be booted from? As with a Mac could I have multiple OSs on
different volumes and boot from which ever I force to do?
