You can use the following auto installer that will download and install the latest nitdroid and multiboot. Please note that SanDisk Memory sticks dont currently work with auto install.

I believe you can tri boot but I think it entails some modifications of the mulitboot configuration in the rootfs (this is where is gets dangerous, you could potentially end up needing a complete reflash if that goes wrong)

You can't boot Windows 98. It's coded for a different cpu, but you can run it inside emulator.

You can run Win95 under DOSbox on N900. I don't think you can do 98.
Also, you can run Ubuntu. Have a search around on these forums - all the info you need is here.
