The machine argument is set to pc-i440fx-2.4, this is to get around the PCI Bus bug that persists within QEMU, and the <code>VGA,vgamem_mb=64</code> parameter allocates 64MB of VRAM onto the generic VGA adapter QEMU provides to allow higher resolutions and color depths within 98SE.
 
We set the memory to 256 MB, but it can run on as low as 16 MB of RAM, although this isn't recommended ifas youthe wantSoftGPU driver requires extra memory in order to be runningable anyto programs.allocate textures in games.
 
Press any key except F8 to boot into the Windows 98 Quick Installer. The installation here is pretty self explanatory. If you used the "all" iso, you'll be prompted to select a Windows version. We recommend 98 SE. Proceed to format a single FAT32 partition taking up all of available space and mark it as bootable, make sure to write changes to the disk and exit. Once prompted to install integrated device drivers, select Yes and continue. By any circumstances do NOT select slow PnP detection as this will hinder the installation process, let it install and reboot.
