The boot disk that you used should have an option for cd rom support if not: get the boot disk from a friend or your local PC store that builds computers.
Insert the floppy and a dos screen will appear giving you several choices. Choose either the cd rom support or with out cd rom support.
Boot the machine with the boot disk
Chose cd rom support.
Now you are in DOS.
Type the letter of your cd rom drive E: and enter
now type cd win98
type setup, to install the windows.

Thank you, LeeTutor and modulo
Try these combinations at startup to enter Bios:
- F1 or Del.
- Some require pressing reset twice
- Ctrl + Alt + Enter
Hope these may help.
