editing bootloader ini-file

[oer]

This is my current boot.ini file.

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)Windows
[operating systems]
mult(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\windows="Microsoft WindowsXP
Professional"/fastdetect/NoExecute=Optin
c:\="Microsoft Windows"

How does I edit it in order to make it default to Win 98 instead of
WindowsXP?

default=c:\

And it will match the first C:\ in the list below (not of much import with 98 but you may have multiple options for NT). Take mine

[boot loader]
timeout=3
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /sos /NoExecute=OptIn
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional Bootlog" /fastdetect /bootlog /sos /NoExecute=OptIn
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional Safe Mode" /fastdetect /safeboot:minimal

As the default matches three lines, the switches for the first match is used, /fastdetect /sos /NoExecute=OptIn

And change your timeout to 2 secs. That is plenty of time to hit a key.
