this kind of thing can get nasty. i will tell you what works for me, but
be careful -- i recommend making a rescue boot disk and a backup of
/etc/lilo.conf, as well as a review of the related man pages. back up
anything really important before continuing.
try:
1) start linux (like you have a choice)
2) login as root
3) add the following to /etc/lilo.conf (leave the existing default boot
entry (linux) intact!):
# Additional Entry: dos
other=/dev/hda1
label="dos"
table=/dev/hda
4) run the "verbose test" version of the lilo command (does not alter
anything):
$ /sbin/lilo -v -t
...if no errors are reported, do it for real (this will alter the boot
sector!):
$ /sbin/lilo
5) reboot. you should be able to select "dos" or "linux" from the storm
loader, with the "dos" option launching win95.
