You misconstrue me. I am trying to install Windows on a blank disk image inside an emulator. It's a virgin machine. The problem is the W98 apparently attacks the hardware directly to force a boot back to the BIOS, and that doesn't work on the emulated BIOS. It just does nothing.
As an exercise in futility, I set up a sacrificial real machine and installed W98 on it. It worked. Twice. The second time I was trying to observe when the reboots happened, so I could try to make the emulator do that. No such luck.
Windows Server 2003 (a demo disk) installs much more neatly, but isn't very useable as a desktop system. It wasn't supposed to be.
No, I construed you just fine. That's why I said:
None of this has much to do with your challenge I suspect.
I was just in one of those I-feel-like-typing moods.
