I am trying to install all three of these OS's Dos 6.22 w/Win311, Win 98. I would like to figure out how to partition my harddrive for this and boot off of a boot loader. I have Partition Magic and Boot Magic if that helps. I also have the luxury to get any program I need to do this. I've read a few how-to's but non are satisfactory. thanks.

You can use Partition Magic to create a primary FAT16 DOS partition and temporarily set it active. Now boot with the DOS 6.22 setup disk 1 in drive A: and run through the installation program. After DOS has been installed, you can set the Windows partition active again and configure Boot Magic to boot DOS, too. The rest should be taken care of by that program.
You will need to have your Windows 98 previously installed over a FAT32 partition for this to work. If Win98 is setup on a FAT16 partition the DOS setup program will try and install to that one. You don't want that. But a FAT32 drive is not recognined by 6.22 as a DOS partition so it will have installed to the first one it recognized.
Let me know it it worked, and good luck.
