Two points:

1. Only a very few, percentagewise, of all the W98se CD's came with any bootup capability. A floppy is required for most of them.

2. They typical PC hardware that Win98se is/was used on does not pay attention to CD's as potential boot devices unless and until you enter the setup (BIOS), and select the CD as the first boot drive.
