Here's a guess, hopefully other people will reply.  I haven't tried this
one.
I would think a combination of LILO and rewriting the MBR under Win98
would work.  If you run fdisk /mbr under Win98 will it not rewrite the MBR
with only boot information for Windows?  
- make a bootable floppy for your Linux install.
- boot win98 and run fdisk /mbr
- boot linux, configure to boot windows and linux and install it in the
mbr.
