If you really want to remove the menu, boot up with your bootdisks (may take some time) and let setup repair the bootsector.

Simple: boot to W2K; verify default OS to boot = W2K; locate/delete the '98 folder from the drive (via Explorer); locate/edit out reference to '98 in boot.ini; also locate/delete the bootsect.dos from the c: root; job done.

Renew ERD once '98 has gone.

Boot.ini is a hidden file; so you need to enable the show all files option in the Explorere\View menu so as to see the boot.ini in the Explorer window.

Edit boot.ini via notepad; save changes afterwards...

You will still have the boot-menu, as its an integral part of W2K/NT OS; but '98 will have gone.

You can set default time to boot to be zero - but not wise; better to have it at least 10secs. (but is the default 30secs. too long to wait?).
