I'm not sure where you read that Windows 98SE was "USB Install friendly". It's not. It barely supports USB at all.
You can start setup through USB Boot, but it loses accesses to the install media once it installs drivers for the USB Root Hub. This is the same issue that Windows XP has.
Workarounds typically involving using Boot software which will boot from a USB drive and then includes low-level drivers to create a "fake" Optical Drive and mount an ISO to it, so when Windows installs USB drivers it does not lose access to the boot media.
