Sounds like the boot disk that you have is faulty, if you do a search via google for win98 boot disk you should be able to download a new one. Alternativly check your BIOS to see if you can boot from your CD drive. If so set that to the first boot device and then restart the computer with the win98 cd in the machine.

Take all of the diskettes and CD's out of the appropriate drives. You can't boot from a standard win9 boot disk to a backpack CD ROM anyway.

Here are some possible fixes:

1) You may have a windows 98 CD in the CD drive, and it's trying to install.
2) You may have a Win98 boot diskette int he disk drive
3) the error that no OEMCD can be found means that a setup diskette or win98 CD is trying to install - and a standard IDE CDROM cannot be found. Therefore, remove all disks and CDs from your system.

Let me know if that doens't work.
