do you have a MD5 checksum to confirm the condition of the floppy image ?

The errors look like access denied. Are the permissions on WIN98.IMG correct? You can use chmod to change the permissions, or chown to change the ownership.

What version of vbox are you using?
I presume you created the VM as the current user, gun, if not you'll have to chmod/chown the vdi file or login as the creating user.

If I get a chance I'll see if I can duplicate the error. I've got a Win98 bootdisk and install around that I can install in VBox. Can't think of anything else right now, sorry.

Well, I'm using Vbox 2.1.4 binary not OSE
vboxdrv start is in my rc.local
I made a floppy image with (as root) with dd if=/dev/fd0 of=win98.img (so the owner and group are actually root)
I created a new Win98 VM (as the ordinary user) and selected image file for mounting the win98.img file using the Vbox browse to select the file.
The default files for Machine and Harddisk are in my users .VirtualBox home directory
Result= no error, Win98 setup floppy boots.
So, I'm not sure what you did differently...
