Of course it has its own disk structure when used in a file under
Linux, but it also supports raw partitions, which should allow you to
boot an already-installed Win98 partition under VMware
(see .http://www.vmware.com/support/rawdevices.html).
I'm aware of the warning at the beginning of this page, but still it
sounds like I can basically expect it to work.

Which would miss the whole point since I want to save the few hundreds
of megabytes taken by windows itself.
