Hello, I read your post on zytor.com, and I am not sure if you are still
looking for a way to boot win98 on a cd with your Nic, but, It is possible,
I have done it, I am sure you have realized that instructions on how to
build a floppy booting win98 disk doesnt really benifit anything being that
the Nic's have no HD, but A combo of a bootable cd, xmsds or ramdisk
(writeable area) and a couple fake things here and there, and you can get
windows to boot.., It is a little tricky, and you need to preinstall the
drivers for the video and so-fourth, but the pages are here on how to do
it..,
here are the specs on the drivers you will need but may have

Booting windows from a cd

Once again, I am not sure if your still working on this or not, but if so,
maybe this will help.
p.s. When you get windows running, and it detects that there is a registry
problem.. What I did was replaced the file Scanreg.exe with Smartrdv.exe,
then disabled scanreg in MSconfig, So windows will not pop a warning upon
boot, and SmartDrv gives an errorlevel of 255 allowing your machine to boot
without popping error messages..
