Sorry, but I have a bunch of bootable Win98 and Win98SE cd's sitting
here... If your computer can boot to CD <which some couldn't> they
boot up giving you the option of booting from the CD or the Hard
drive. Looks exactly like this:

Microsoft Windows 98 CD-ROM Startup Menu     
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII     
                                             
1.  Boot from Hard Disk                      
2.  Boot from CD-ROM                         
                                             
Enter your choice:       Time remaining: 03  
                                       
If you select the CD, it boots to this screen:

                                               
  Microsoft Windows 98 Startup Menu            
  IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII           
                                               
     1. Start Windows 98 Setup from CD-ROM.    
     2. Start computer with CD-ROM support.    
     3. Start computer without CD-ROM support. 
                                               
  Enter a choice: 1       Time remaining: 25   

And since I did this with an original Win98 CD, (not the Win98SE), that
proves that they worked also.
