installing win98 on notebook

here's my situation:
-using a 8-10 year old notebook (toshiba tecra)
-notebook has one pcmcia slot
-I have a fdd card and cdrom card (note: they cannot be used at the same time)
-notebook is repartioned and formatted
-I have Win98 CD and a Win98 boot disk
-I want to install Win98

How do I go to install the OS ?

Since the W98 disk you have was probably not tailor made for the notebook,
you need to contact the Toshiba and find out if the notebook can run W98 and
if W98 drivers exist for the notebook's hardware. Considering its age,
there is also a question of whether or not it has sufficient horsepower for
W98.

Run the BIOS Setup and set the Boot Options sequence
to Floppy, then Hard Drive.

Install the FDD card, Insert the boot floppy. Boot with the floppy.

Format the hard drive, making sure that you copy the system files,
so that the hard drive is rendered bootable.

Create a folder on the hard drive called BootDisk.

Copy the contents of the floppy boot disk to the C:\BootDisk folder.

Shut down. Switch to the CDROM card. Reboot to the hard drive.

Make a folder on the hard drive called WIN98.

Copy the contents of the WIN98 folder from the CDROM
to the WIN98 folder on the hard drive.

Switch to the WIN98 folder on the hard drive. Run SETUP.
