I've heard that it's possible to boot DOS and Win95 from the same disk,
but I can't figure out how.

My configuration: 1 Gb HD split into 4 partition:

C:   is Win95
D:   is reserved to OpenDOS
3rd  is for Linux
4th  is for the Linux swap.

I SYSsed D: and installed OpenDOS on it, and I successfully boot it
using a boot floppy.

Using Linux's LILO, I can boot Win95 and apparently DOS, but then the
boot process stops:

Cannot find DOS file.

In fact, DOS cannot boot from D:, can it?

Suggestions, anyone?

Thanks in advance,
		Guido =8-)
