why cant you just enter the setup for your computer and change the BIOS to boot off the CD?

Says who? I've got my Win98 SE CD here with just a random label of "Win98 SE" and it boots fine. The label isn't a prerequisite. Just make sure you have the "Microsoft Corporation.img" file burned correctly.

most cd burning programs have an option to make a cd "bootable". It has nothing to do with the label on the cd. The "bootable" option just loads some OS files onto the cd so that it can boot.
