Pre-Installation Notes
The CD-ROM drive sometimes doesn't show up after first reboot. In order to continue installation, be sure to copy the install files to the hard drive first. Somewhere like C:\Win98.
Be sure to patch the installation files too with Patcher9x before installation.
Enabling PCI Support
To enable PCI hardware detection in QEMU/KVM:
