Hi Joey Just for the record, I've done another installation using the Sarge daily netinst image from 05 June 2004.
The result is the same as before: if the win98 partition (fat32) is mounted, the GRUB configuration doesn't find the win98 installation; if it is not mounted everything works as expected. I have even reinstalled win98 just to make sure.
