If I had to guess:

1 is a dvd drive.

1 is a high speed cd-rom read only drive

1 is a cd-rw drive

1 3.5" inch Floppy disk drive (720 KB and 1.44 MB)

for windows 98 technically needs the startup floppy disk to even start the installer

Depends which version you have - there is at least one official Win98 release that had a bootable CD.
