Swap the disks. This way Win95 gets the primary disk as it
likes. Debian can easily live on the secondary disk. 

The only problem is to configure the booting. I suggest that you copy
your kernel to a FAT floppy before swapping the disks. Also copy
loadlin.exe to the floppy. Now swap the disks and install win95. 

You should now be able to boot back to Debian from a dos-prompt with
something like: a:\loadlin.exe a:\wmlinuz root=/dev/hdc2 ro 

As the last step you should reconfigure LILO to give you a proper
dualboot setup.
