Faulty! Make the following changes and re-run LILO. That should fix you up!

Boot partition: Do you really want the Win95 boot sector over-written? I
recommend either use the MBR (master boot record) or the Linux boot sector as
follows:

  boot=/dev/hda  ## MBR - head off Win95 and jump directly to LILO

     OR

  boot=/dev/hda2 ## Use Linux to boot Linux.

Your choice, if you elect to use the MBR, make Win95 the active partition. If
you elect to use Linux, make Linux the active partition.

This next section need re-working...

Change the above to read:

  other=/dev/hda1
  table=/dev/hda
  label=Win95
