Try (as root) /sbin/fdisk -l as it may not be in your path. If that doesn't work, it's not installed.
Edit your /etc/fstab file as follows and it will mount when you boot ->
Code:
/dev/hda5 /WinE vfat user,umask=1000,rw,auto 0 0
where hda5 is whichever device your W98 drive is, and /WinE is the mount point you'd like to use. This scheme will mount your drive as read/write, but if you don't want to write to it, use ro instead or rw and it will be read only.
Spot on, mate! Always tell what fixed your problem, so that when someone else searches and comes to your thread, they'll know what to do on their system.
/sbin/fdsik -l
i got /dev/hdb for my slave HD
in the fstab i added
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/win98 vfat user,umask=1000,rw,noauto 0 0 (i have another patition at that HD)
and i mount as root with
mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/win98 -t vfat -r -o umask=0222
thank you all

Good on yah! With that setup, you can mount as user by issuing ->
$ mount /mnt/win98
and not have to login as root. ;-) That's the purpose of user instead of root
in that line in /etc/fstab
