I use the NT bootloader to boot between NT/dos|95/linux, the Linux+NT+Win95 or whatever it was called HOWTO in /usr/doc/HOWTO/mini was very helpful, basically I have an entry for c:\bootsect.lnx in my c:\boot.ini. And updated it with a new kernel or whatever. So basically after a new kernel I do:
dd if=/dev/sda5 of=/win95/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1 where /dev/sda5 is my linux partition and /win95 is my win95 (primary dos or whatever the hell) partition. Also, the howto says you have to copy the bootsect file to a floppy and reboot or whatever, but using something like the above this step is not necessary.
