You most likely will have to do some hardware shuffling. From your message, I
gather that you have a CDRom Drive as /dev/hdb. Most OS'es prefer hard drives
to be sequential on an IDE bus (DOS: C,D,E; LINUX: hda,hdb,hdc) with any CDRom 
drives afterward. I suggest that you map your second hard drive as /dev/hdb 
and put the CDRom drive as /dev/hdc. SCSI bus based stuff is a different
ballgame. When you install Win95/DOS, it should ignore the first drive and be
happy with the second drive. Worse case, temporarily disable the first drive
and make the second drive look like the only drive in the system. Install
WIn95/DOS and then put the hard drives as you want them and use LILO to manage
the boot up.
