I installed Win98 onto an old PC to get my taxes done.  My Win98 install
CD was *not* bootable.  My old win98 boot floppies no longer worked.  I
had to scramble to get a bootable win98 floppy image to get things off
the ground.  In my case I need both
	a:fdisk /mbr
	a:sys c:
to get windows to boot.
