When Windows is selected, the Windows 2000 multi-boot menu kicks in and allows you to select Windows 98 or 2000.
I guess I'm in the minority having GRUB in the MBR

I use GRUB both in the MBR and is as many partitions as I can stuff it in... for maximum flexibility. Here is one version of /boot/grub/menu.lst that I often use:
