Do this:

1. Create Win95 boot disk with CD-ROM driver and MSCDEX.EXE
2. Boot from this disk and start installing OSR2.
3. When asked if you want to create a startup disk, say Yes. Once it's
created, cancel the rest of the installation.
4. Boot from this new startup disk and run FDISK.EXE. When asked if you
want to take advantage of FAT32, say Yes. Then create your primary
partition as required, exit FDISK, and format the drive.
5. Reboot with your first boot disk containing your CD ROM drivers and
install OSR2 normally.

You have to do all this so OSR2's FDISK takes advantage of FAT32, which
is the heart of OSR2, IMHO.

Hope this helps.
