Extract Autoexec.bat from your 98 image file.
Edit Autoexec.bat
Here is the default portion of Autoexec.bat:

CODE

:EXT
%RAMD%:\extract /y /e /l %RAMD%: ebd.cab > NUL
echo The diagnostic tools were successfully loaded to drive %RAMD%.
echo.
LH %ramd%:\MSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd001 /L:%CDROM%
echo.
cls
echo Now installing Windows 98 SE
echo.
echo Loading...
path=%RAMD%:\;a:\;%CDROM%:\SETUP\98SE\WIN98\
OEMSETUP.EXE
echo.
GOTO QUIT

Here is mine portion of Autoexec.bat:

CODE

%RAMD%:\extract /y /e /l %RAMD%: ebd.cab > NUL
echo The diagnostic tools were successfully loaded to drive %RAMD%.
echo.
LH %ramd%:\MSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd001 /L:%CDROM%
echo.
cls
FORMAT C: /s /v:WIN_98
echo Now installing Windows 98 SE
echo.
echo Loading...
path=%RAMD%:\;a:\;%CDROM%:\SETUP\98SE\WIN98\
OEMSETUP.EXE
echo.
GOTO QUIT

/v:"new label of your formatted C:"

I use almost the same script, but I use findcd.exe, so my autoexec is like this:

CODE

:WIN98SE
set CDROM=FOO23
FINDCD.EXE
if "%CDROM%"=="FOO23" goto NOCDROM
path=a:\;%CDROM%\
%CDROM%
cd \WIN98SE
echo.
OEMSETUP.EXE
goto QUIT
