What you're describing is WinME, not 98 or 98SE, both of which use MS-DOS 7.1. 98 can boot directly to a plain old DOS prompt, and run all DOS software just the same as pre-v7.0 versions of MS-DOS.
Nope I'm describing win98se, which when you run command.com reports itself as Windows 98. Try it.
Further, its questionable whether MS ever officially released anything described as Dos 7.1. They certainly claim that Win98 does not have DOS underneath.
And 98 can not boot to a dos prompt. Its a windows prompt. And the size of the module (command.com) and its content is quite different from any dos command.com.
Actually, you can boot into DOS. Peter Norton's "Maximizing Windows 98 Administration" describes how to do it.
