The problem is solved:

If I power down when switching from Windows98 to NetBSD, I don't have a 
problem.  Thanks for the hints.  Once I get the rest of the system stable, 
I'll see about adding code to the driver to avoid getting confused by 
whatever it is Win98 is doing at shutdown.

Thanks to all who responded.
