I cannot give you a definitive answer on this issue, but I have a few
ideas that I would try:
1) Try installing the WIn98 shutdown bug fix:

2) Check for a boot sector virus, there is one that will do this, though
I forget the name of the virus.
3) Check for a hardware conflict in your Device Manager, a conflict
could be triggering an issue when the system shuts down causing
Win98 to reboot.
