The only 'Doze98 CD (first edition) I ever had was bootable.
So it's possible, and I *thought* that was the default.

fdisk + mkdosfs -F32 will not just make the CD happy, it'll
save *a lot* of time. "Format and check" takes forever if
you have a decent-sized disk. Make sure to get the
partition type right (0x0b for < 8G, 0x0c for > 8G) or the
whole thing will fail miserably after wasting a lot of time.

That'd be the first thing I'd try.
