You can try setup /nm  (supposed to bypass detection of CPU if yours
doesn't meet minimum 
requirements, such as older 386/486 CPU's. )

There is also setup /p  f      to create a new registry if yours is
corrupted. 

Then there is setup /ntldr which is supposed to ignore the old system and
allow you to install 
WIN98 on any Intel PC with Win95 installed.  ( I have personally had a
little trouble 
with this one trying to install an OEM Version of Win98 over a Win 95
installation.  It always 
tells me I have to have an upgrade version of Win 98.  Then I have had to
delete the windows\ 
system folder and all the C:\ (root) boot files.)  

There is at least one more command line switch I didn't record.  You can
go out on 
the WWW and use something like the Altavista search engine and search for

 WIN 95/98 setup switches to look for updated information.
