seeing as u have lilo installed it should have added you win95 partition to its
table automatically.. so next time you boot up and see the lili prompt press TAB
and you will see a list of boot options enter in whatever isn't linux.. it
defaults to msdos which is just the label name.. unless you change it.. um in
linux there is a program called linuxconf in there you will see lilo settings
which allow you to choose which partition to boot.
