Edit menu.lst to show grub how to load each OS:

title DOS98
find --set-root /io.sys
chainloader /io.sys
title WinPE30
chainloader /bootmgr

 

For fast DOS boot, use this msdos.sys:

[Options]
SystemReg=0
Logo=0
DisableLog=1

... and this config.sys:

device=\dos\himem.sys /testmem:off
buffers=99,8



To setup WinPE 2.0 or 3.0 for multiboot, you must run bcdedit.exe. Good luck with that.
