I've done this enough times that I might be able to give you an
explanation. One of the worst things about the Win95 install is that it
puts its own bootblocks in, part of which is a _bitmap of the bootup screen_
(yuk!) so that it can flip to that graphic ASAP. However, if you overwrite
the graphic it does no harm. Win95 just grabs it from somewhere else and
leaves your modifications untouched.

The upshot is install Win95 first, custom boot stuff later.

That's just a guess though. If you tell me what happened I can give you
a better guess. :)

I've sent this on-list because the stuff above might be useful to someone
else, but we can continue off-list. Basically my setup is MS-DOS and then
win95 upgrade install and then os-bs.

To boot I select between Win95 and NetBSD from os-bs, and then in Win95
I can choose boot to old version ofr MS-DOS if I want.

Works no probs.
