On a Win 98 machine you need to actually get a copy of DOS 6.22 which is completely 
separate from Win 98. I believe the version of DOS Win 98 runs on top of is 7.x

You put a DOS boot disk in your floppy drive. You make a DOS boot disk by formatting 
the disk with the "place system files" or /s option.

I'm doing this from my memory and it's not very reliable today. Please correct me if I'm 
wrong.

Please excuse my ignorance, but I'm primarily a Mac user.  How do I boot to
DOS on a Windows 98 machine?

Thanks!
