If objective is to install RH as chroot and if you do not mind
rebooting, it is simple :)
Install RH in unused partition(s) as a normal multiboot system.
Boot into Debian.
login root
Mount RH to /target-dir
Disable unused daemons
chroot /target-dir
Simple :) This was classic method before debootstrap for Debian.
