How does one boot drive 2?

I use OS/2 & its bootmnager, so my setup is a little different (abd 
    easier).

You need someting on the first drive that you can boot & choose what you 
    actually want to run. LILO can make the choice and boot either WIN95 
    or Linux. just how much Linux you need with it, I don't know.

However, if you assign part of each drive to each of Linux and DOS/WIN95, 
    both will perform better and installation is simpler: you install both
    on the first drive & let a simple LILO installation control the boot 
    process.
