This is how I do it.  I have Debian installed and run VMware with
both a Win98 and a Win2K virtual machine.  The Win98 is more
stable as a virtual machine than it was natively installed on
this same system.  Win2K is faster than Win98 too.  

I still get the occasional Windoze hangs, but I can just kill the
process and restart it...and read email while it reboots :-) .

VMWare is said to do an excellent job.

VMWare doesn't run on Win98 hosts, only NT/2000/XP (and Linux). You could
run the Linux version of VMWare and boot Win98 in a window. This is fine
for things like office-type apps and network programs. More specifically,
you can't run games well in a guest Windows session running under VMWare
because of video, sound and joystick issues. Also, it costs US$300 and
their support is a joke. I run VMWare on Linux in the office with NT in a
virtual machine (in a window), and it's a lifesaver for me, but at home
I'd buy a second computer to run games and audio/video software. There is
a VMWare Express for Linux that is cheaper, but somewhat restricted.

VMWare would be the only way I know of doing this.

"Linux window" in Windows

[JakeCatfox]

Is there a way to access my linux partition and bootstrap Linux on top of 
Windows? Such as, pop up a Linux window in Windows 98 that boots my kernel 
from my Linux partition, without rebooting?

Thanks,
