You can do what you ask with System Commander. I use it and have DR-Dos
on the first primary partition, Win98 on the second. I works like this,
if I boot DOS I get a C: drive that dos boots from with all my dos and
Win3.11 stuff, my extended partition has drive D,E,F,G, Win98 does not
exist becaose it is FAT32. If I boot to Win98 that becomes the C: drive,
my DOS C: drive becomes the H: drive still accessable from Win98, my
extended partition still has D,E,F,G in there origonal places. Works
great for me.
