umm...the VMware machine is a full Virtual Machine...with it's own bios..when
you start the machine you may notice a nice little message saying "Press f2 for
setup" thats like a normal setup bios...just change it to boot of the CD and
feed your win98 cd into your cd-rom

I think your getting confused....VMware reads a config file to make a
machine...but after that it acts pretty much exactly like a normal PC (just in
a window). The doco on the vmware site is quite good...I think you should
really read it
