Mike,

First of all, thanks !

Second,

1. When you talk about creating a hard disk image, can I use one of 
those 3 GB empty (*.bz2) images available on sites like PearPC and such?

2. I am also assuming that in you command line below, win98.hd is that 
image.

3. Since you also have /dev/cdrom, I am assuming that I need to put the 
Win98SE disk in the Mac cd drive . Right?

Jose
