What do you want to dual boot with?  If you just want to dual boot DOS or 
Windows 95 then there are configuration options that allow you to boot 
MSDOS 5.0 (or greater) by pressing F4 when the 'Starting Windows 95' 
message appears.

I use LILO from Linux to boot either into Windows95 or Linux on seperate 
partitions.

If your IBM uses an MCA bus then regretably Linux won't work on your PC.
