Humm ho!
You might just have one of those motherboards that cannot boot from the ide
drive, if there is scsi drive installed. Check your bios settings (most not so old
clone/standard/whatever mb's have options to boot from scsi/ide/etc.).
What mb / machine do you have ?
Then if your mb supports to boot from ide instead of scsi, I think you can
install lilo into the ide drive's mbr and boot Linux and 95 from there.

I think this is correct.
--j, wondering when his IBM DVGS drive will arrive.
