Hello,
I'm french user, so excuse my mistakes !
I've just downloaded and installed on mys MacBook Pro VB and created a new virtual machine to install Win98. I fixed the boot to the CD and placed an original Win98 one : after the Innotek spash I get the following message "Fatal : no bootable medium found. System halted"
In the settings I had choose no floppy / CD of the MBP ; the order was CD then HDD.
I tried after creating an iso file and copied it on an external disk. No more success !
Can you help me ?
Thanks
Noël
Problem for installing Win98
So you checked that "CD/DVD-ROM" is the first entry in Settings->General->Advanced->Boot Order and that it is activated? And in Settings->CD/DVD-ROM you checked "Mount CD/DVD Drive" and you chose "Host CD/DVD Drive"? If so, the machine should boot from the CD inserted in your drive.
Would be odd if that didn't work.

I checked the screenshots. Everything seems to be configured correctly. The VirtualMachine should try booting from the DVD-ROM-Drive first.
Do you hear the CD spinning in your drive when the machine boots? Is the CD booting on a "real" (not virtualized) PC? Maybe it's broken or something?
As far as I can see the machine has been correctly set up. You could try using "PIIX3" instead of "PIIX4" as IDE-Controller-Type. Just an idea.
Edit: Just to test whether or not it has to do with the CD, you could try inserting another bootable CD just to verify that it can work. A Linux-Live-CD if you have one or similar.

I changed the CD by another copy I had and everything is good now ! I have installed Win98.
But another problem occurs : when installing additions I receive a message saying the platform does'nt allows the installation ??? So I can have a screen in more than 16 colors !
I'm installing on a MacBook Pro Intel.
If you have an idea...
Have a good day !
