I would be tempted to put the two smaller drives (the bootable DOSes) as master
and slave on the primary interface and the big Linux and Win95 non-bootable on
secondary (either master or slave). You can then use LILO to boot between the
three OSes - you'll have to copy the Linux kernel to one of the DOS or Windows
partitions on the primary controller, so the BIOS calls used by LILO can access
it (otherwise you get an endless repeating message 'Error 0x01'). Then you
simply have something like this for /etc/lilo.conf
install = /dev/hda
wait = 5
image = /dos/c/pathtolinuxkernel/linuxkernelfile
label = Linux
root = /dev/hdwherever
read-only
other = /dev/hda1
label = DOS
table = /dev/hda
other = /dev/hdb1
label = Win95
table = /dev/hdb
loader = any_d.b (or maybe it's anyd_d.b)
Arrange the three stanzas with the one you want to boot by default at the top
(you can specify a few options to stop it from defaulting or to remember the
last OS used), then run lilo and *presto* it should work...
