've never heard of such a thing (booting from a win98(se) CD).

Everywhere I've worked we do it the following way...

• BOOT the PC with a 95/98 BOOTDISK and press F5 (to skip directly to the prompt)
  
• ASSUMING that you haven't formated the C: drive -- Format c: /s /q (for a quickformat and copy systemfiles to boot)
  
• REMOVE the bootdisk and let your PC boot normally, you will end up in a prompt.
  
• GO in C: and do md win98 to create a directory called win98 on the C: (c:\win98)
  
• GO in your cdrom drive (cd d:) and enter the win98 directory (cd win98)
  
• TYPE copy *.* C:\win98 and wait until its done.
  
• AFTER go back to C:\win98 and type setup you will now enter the setup of win98
  

The reason why you copy the files to the HD first is for one simple reason -- whenever windows needs files to install anything drivers the setup files will be on your disk. No more asking for the CD since you installed it from there.

Tadam!
