You don't even need to go to tht extent for Win98.  Take your recovery
disk (whadayamean, you haven't got one: go and make one NOW:-) and look
at the config.sys and autoexec.bat thereon.  There's more programs
(FDISK, FORMAT, etc) required on such a disk than there is room for on
one floppy, so Microsoft nowadays compress the content on the disk, and
create a RAM disk during the boot sequence into which the compressed
images are expanded.  So the diskette contains (uncompressed) the
requisite drivers for a RAMdrive.
