In my experience, for numerous reasons, it is better to install Microsoft OS's first, then install FreeBSD (Microsoft has a nasty habit of doing what it wants without asking or notification to the boot record. That being said, I have no idea why win98 won't even boot to an install point. Are you booting from Floppy or CD, or something else? Will the machine correctly boot FreeBSD now (its possible that it isn't win98 that won't boot, nothing will.). Assuming you can boot FreeBSD, what errors are you getting trying to boot the win98 install (and what _exactly_ are you doing)?
