I have installed 98 on a virtual pc on a desktop without any problems, but
when installing on a laptop virtual pc installs fine but I cannot get 98
loaded - virtual pc goes into a continous loop of DHCP/// looking for boot
device although I have a bootable 98 cd in my cd drive. Anyone run into this?

are you sure that the CD is bootable? Most weren't. You can get

Presumably the Win98 CD is bootable, since the OP installed it on a virtual
machine on his desktop machine...?
