If you have a w98 install cd then look if there's a folder named \tools\MTSUTIL\FAT32EBD. In that folder you find a litte tool for copying an boot-image to a floppy disk, and you'll also find the boot image (IMAGE.DSK) that you may be able to mount directly in your VM server (else try rename it to .img before you begin looking for winimage or other floppy disk image tools to help you). If that file isn't included on your source media then you could do a google search on "windows 98 boot floppy" and you'll find some places where you can download (floppy) boot disk images for any MS OS ever released. Mount the floppy image and the cd-drive in your vm app and you should be able to get things going. FYI if you want to waste time making a bootable cd then you need an app for creating such a thing. I have tried MagicISO (maybe the trial is crippled I can't remember) a few years back, and most recently I've used a little MS tool called OSCDIMG.EXE which is part of the XP OEM Preinstallaion kit[^].
