The original post contains the correct syntax for newer versions of Xen (3.0.4 
at least). 
disk    = [ 'file:/path/windisk.img,ioemu:hda,w', 
'file:/path/wincd.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r' ]

I don't see anything wrong with that part. 

Win98 is probably more difficult than NT, because Win98 will use segments with 
base != 0, and quite possibly also use "big real-mode" tricks for booting [the 
latter is speculation, the former is based on the fact that some of the Win98 
kernel is same as Windows 3.x, which definitely uses segments for certain 
memory operations. Until unstable, segments with base != 0 is unsupported and 
will lead to strange crashes].
