If you wish to boot from your harddisk, you will need lilo and need to
install in on the mbr of your IDE disk. (I assume, your BIOS won't let you
boot off your SCSI disk directly)
Install linux normally using the Boot/Root/Rescue disk and let the system
make a boot floppy for you. Make sure, the Windows 95 partition is marked
bootable.
Boot from the just make boot floppy, then make a /etc/lilo.conf like:
- --------------------------------------------------------
boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/sda1 # <-- depending on the number of your root partition
linear # <-- this might or might not be needed
install=/boot/boot.b
vga=normal
timeout=50
prompt
other=/dev/hda1 # <-- depending on the number of your Win 95 partition
label=Win95
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
- --------------------------------------------------------
run
/sbin/lilo -v
and reboot.
Now to boot linux you need to type
linux
at the "LILO:" prompt and press <Enter>
