Putting the different OS's on different disks will not make a
significant
difference.  Putting half of each on two disks will help to improve
performance by sharing the IO load.

Don't worry to much about LILO.  As long as you set it up properly, it
won't trash your disk.  If you are REALLY worried, just install it in
the boot partition, rather than the master boot record.  If you have
any problems, boot from a floppy and change your active (boot) partition
to be your Win95 partition.

I am using LILO to boot into either Linux, Dos, or Solaris, and I will
be
adding NT to that list soon.
