Whomever told you that you could not dual-boot Windows and Redhat because of your "architecture" is wrong. All you need to do is resize an existing Windows 98 partition using Partition Magic or FIPS (available in the dosutils directory on your RH install media) and run RedHat setup. Anaconda will have an option to create new partitions using the free space. Whichever boot manager (GRUB, LILO) you select will find your Windows 98 partition and enable it as a boot option. It's that simple.
Alternatively, you could create a boot disk during setup and leave the boot record untouched. Then when you would like to boot into Linux, you just put the floppy in the drive and boot.
