The Windows 98 boot floppy will be unable to boot Windows NT.  The
purpose of the NT/2000 boot floppy is to load the Windows NT kernel,
not simply to boot the system into a command prompt.

Your Windows 98 boot floppy almost certainly does not have the
Windows NT kernel on it.

Once booted the Windows NT kernel (and IDE driver) can then "find" 
the registry and other Windows files on the filesystem using the 
C:\BOOT.INI file.  The syntax for this file is available via google.

...Anyway this is kind of offtopic for CLUE...
