FC4 no longer includes LILO (don't recall if it was pulled in FC3 or
FC4).
Theoretically you could omit installing grub, and boot off a rescue CD
and mount your partitions. But that's less optimum -- you won't end
up booting a number of processes that normally run at startup - cron,
et al, which may result in strange, mysterious malfunctions from time
to time.
Until you have more experience with these sort of things, you are
better off booting the system normally.
What was the intent of not having a boot menu?
If it is just to make Win98SE be the default then that can be
accomplished with out requiring the use of a recovery disk. A small
change in the grub.conf file is all it takes.
