There is an undocumented option to make F1 the default, even with 
a timeout. Just use the following syntax to install LOADER:

 LOADER boot.lst[timeout]
                ^--- no spaces here!!!
               
However, it will still show up as "Standard boot" in the menu, 
which makes sense, because the Standard boot sector must not
necessarily boot Windows95 (in your example), it's just the 
last OS used to SYS the boot drive (which is Windows95 in your 
case).
