I know about the several ways:
1. Use loadlin from DOS's multiboot as Ira Abramov noticed
2. Use lilo and install it after win95 as Malamoud Nir noticed
3. Edit the file MSDOS.SYS and change "BootGUI=1" line to
"BootGUI=0" (and also "Logo=1" to "Logo=0" - recommended).
Now after regular bootstrap you will get MS-DOS. Then you
may or leave it, or type "win" to start win95 or use loadlin
to start Linux. I personally preffer this way - it is much more
flexible and convenient. By this way you may also load old Win31
(for example if you need Hebrew support).
