I dont want to upset you, but I _think_ you have fried your win95
partition... I believe that your 'boot=/dev/sda1' has killed the windows
loader... I dont know how to best explain how it works, as I dont know for
sure... I use 'boot=/dev/hda' <-- no "1"

the 'other = /dev/sda1' line says "boot off of /dev/sda1", but you have
installed LILO there, that is why you get it again...

When you get it going... a 'default=win95' in the section at the top will
fix it...
I hope this reason for your problem is not the case for you, But I have
done this myself once, and It was not a pleasant feeling in my gut when I
realized.
