Hi, perhaps this can help you. I am putting these lines in my lilo.conf
to be able to boot Win95 from hdb1:

other=/dev/hdb1
         label=dos
         table=/dev/hdb
         map-drive=0x80 to=0x81
         map-drive=0x81 to=0x80

The trick is to make Win95 think that it is actually booting from hda :D
