Boot manager lists "Windows 98" from boot.ini file

The boot manager menu lists Windows 98 from my XP boot.ini file.
Obviously I can't boot Win 98 from the Vista boot manager since Windows 98
needs its startup files to reside on a FAT32 boot partition drive.
If I try to make this entry invisible to Vista boot manager by commenting
out using a ";" in the boot.ini file then booting Win98 from the XP boot
manager fails, even though the entry is listed.
Removing the ";" makes the Win98 system bootable again.
