Not true.
If both of the partitions are primary partitions, and the bootable flag
is swapped from one to the other, then when one boots, the second will
be drive d:, and vice versa. I used to use the fdisk method all the
time, I dual booted linux, and dos, so I see no reason why it wouldn't
work with windows and dos as well. Obviously,, I couldn't access the
linux partition from dos, because it didn't read the linux file system,
but linux had no trouble seeing the dos partition, and another friend I
had used dos/windows (as requested in the original post), and that
worked just fine, he could see both drives no matter which os he booted.
Obviously, I've not tried this in years, but I see no reason why things
would have changed in this regard.

If you want to access one from the other you cannot as it will be
hidden, for that to work you need separat drives or the coplcated
method, if not xfdisk on a bootable floppy or usb will be handy while
installing.

Thanks for the answers guys. I see i have a lot of options.
I don't wanna to install FreeDOS in the same partition of Windows 98
because this is complicated as hell. I will make two partitions and
will be using the xfdisk method.
