Edit: New run, slightly tighter timings.
How did you get the P965 chipset to work with Win98? I never heard of anything higher than 925 working with 98.
Most important is to set the SATA Configuration to Compatible. I'm only using a 80GB SATA drive, so size is not an issue. Also I disabled all onboard devices and all tabs in CPU Configuration. For getting the SB emulation of the Aureal Vortex 8820 to work under MS-DOS, I've reserved IRQ 5 under "Advanced PCI/PnP Settings".
After first step of the Windows install I booted to pure DOS and added MaxPhysPage=20000 under the [386Enh] section in system.ini (Windows will then only see 512MB RAM, it won't even boot when it sees 2GB complaining about insufficient memory).
