|In order to install a new keyboard, I would need a new driver.

Nonsense.
Unless your new whiz-bang keyboard has a throttle and brake and afterburner,
W98 already has a device driver installed for it.

|With no keyboard, how would I boot the thing up?

"Boot" doesn't mean what you think it means.

|How do you boot Windows 98 Second Edition WITHOUT a keyboard?
|
You "boot" a computer; you LOAD an OS.
Boot ends shortly after you hear a single beep
(after POST and after the bootloader has found a device containing a boot sector.)

Windoze will continue to bitch until you give it the minimum hardware it requires.
I got my last keyboard for $2 at a second-hand store.
If I'd asked around, I might have gotten one for free.
