Then you have to supply "-fda /dev/fd0" to qemu if you want to boot from
floppy (as you told qemu with "-boot a"), but since I don't think
Windows 98 comes on floppys (correct me if I'm wrong) you'll have to supply
"-boot d -cdrom /dev/cdrom" to qemu in order to boot from cdrom.

But don't forget to insert the floppys/cdrom.
