Hmm.. no idea about getting W98 and NT to co-exist. I would suggest
getting that sorted first, then using fips to shrink the W* partitions
to
the size you want, then install debian on the remainder.
===================================================== 
Install windows 98 first.  Use the boot disk and first run ms fdisk to
create a win98 partition (less than the whole drive), then run win98
setup.  Next install NT.  Nt will dual boot with 98 automagicly.  Use
Nt's fdisk to add a partition for nt.  Then install linux.  I've heard
that lilo can be setup to boot the nt bootloader which will then
choose between nt and win98.
