Hi Hal,

When Win95 is installed on an existing DOS machine, its boot manager,
which you access using F8 at boot time, has an extra item allowing
to boot the old DOS (this is not the dos command mode which is another
item in the boot manager list). So, what I would try to do in your
case is to have LILO boot and select between Linux and Win95 and
have Win95's boot manager to select between old DOS and Win95 (but
I do not know how to set up the Win95 boot manager, sorry).
