The FAT32 file system allows partitions up to 2 terabytes
in size.

This is the only patch for Win98 that mentions 32G, and it addresses ScanDisk.  It is from the windows update site

     Windows 98 Large IDE Update 
     This update addresses an issue on Windows® 98 and Windows 98 Second Edition computers that have an integrated device electronics (IDE) hard disk that is larger than 32 gigabytes (GB) in size. If you use the protected-mode (graphical) version of ScanDisk to perform a thorough scan (which includes a surface scan) on an IDE hard disk that is larger than 32 GB, ScanDisk may report errors on every cluster after approximately cluster number 967,393
