Find/borrow an older keyboard and mouse that don't use the adapter and connect directly to the PS/2. See if the system will boot with them. If they do, then plug in the usb keyboard and mouse, one at a time in the usb ports and have the software/drivers ready to complete the install. Then shut down the system, remove the PS/2 devices and reboot with the keyboard and mouse in the usb ports. Then shut down and try them again with the adapters in the PS/2 ports. 98 can be a pain with adapters.
