Issue Installing Win98SE on Guest

[QuadMcFly]

I was trying to install Windows 98 SE on a VM to experiment with a few things and it gets through formatting the hard disk, and gets stuck on this screen:

The log shows:

I've seen videos on YouTube of others running 98SE without issues, so theoretically it should be possible. Is there any specific CPU configuration changes I need to make? This is running on an Intel Xeon dual quad core setup.

CPU(s) 8 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5462 @ 2.80GHz (2 Sockets)

Kernel Version Linux 5.13.19-2-pve #1 SMP PVE 5.13.19-4 (Mon, 29 Nov 2021 12:10:09 +0100)

PVE Manager Version pve-manager/7.1-10/6ddebafe

Any ideas would be helpful. This isn't mission critical, but I would like to get it running. Thanks!
