Have you checked out the Linux HOWTO index at

     http://www.ssc.com/linux/howto.html

In the "mini-HOWTO" section are a number of documented multiboot
configurations; the one entitled "Linux Linux+Win95 mini-HOWTO"
by Jonathan Katz sounds like it'd be on target for you. Its URL is

     http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/mini/Linux+Win95

The only piece of advice that I can immediately offer is to make sure
that your LILO is in your root partition's superblock, and _not_ in the
Master Boot Record.

Good luck!

Christian.
