1) Use a utility to save a copy of your MBR to disk, and then restore
it after the Win98 install.

2) Install Win98, and then use a pair of FreeBSD boot disks to access
sysinstall and install the default boot manager.

2 is probably quicker, unless you've done something magical and
bizzare with your MBR.
