Robert, I have more or less the same as you and it's running (WFW311,
WIN95, OS/2 Warp and Linux).
I start with OS/2 and install the boot manager (primary partition), 2
more primary partitions (WFW311 and WIN95) and a extended partition. In
the extended partition I create a logical partition for OS/2. Then I
bootup with linux disk and using linux fdisk I create in the free part of
the extended partition, the following partition (swap, /, /usr and
/home). Then installing linux with lilo in / partition. Voila' work.
Now, every time that i start my machine, boot manager appear and I can
select one of OS (WFW311 its the default).
Be careful, because the boot loader of each OS must stay before the 1024
cilinder (if your disk has more then 1024 cilinders). This limitation its
related with the BIOS.
Enjoy
Paulo
