Dual Boot XP & 98SE

I have both on different hard drives and I went searching to see how this will work so I looked at old posts. I think I did everything correctly but Ive had no luck on it. In my boot.ini file on XP it only shows XP. I installed XP after 98 and the drive with XP is the master drive. Does anyone know what i could have done wrong?

So 98 should be C:\ and XP should be the master drive?
