This part was unclear initially as Syslinux is also a boot loader and
you didn't specify that the "choices" were from another boot loader.

Let's see if I can summarize the situation.  You have a USB drive of
sorts with an ISOHYBRID ISOLINUX ISO9660 image file written directly.
You are booting from this drive.  The primary internal boot HDD has
Windows XP and Windows 98 installed, both of which boot properly when
not using the USB drive.  When booting the USB drive then chaining
over to the internal to boot Win98, it does not boot successfully.

Have you tried burning the ISO and booting from the CD/DVD to see if
Win98 dislikes the chain.c32 swap stub?  This would require a change
in the config to read:

LABEL localboot-hd0
COM32 chain.c32
APPEND hd0 1
