That is the way that I did it: installing DOS first onto a FAT C: 
partition, then installing win3.11 on C:. I installed NT onto a D: 
partition (that could be either NTFS or FAT. I've done it both ways).
Then I installed Win95 onto a FAT E: partition. 

When the system starts the NT boot loader menu offers choices of
booting into NT or "MSDOS". Choosing DOS from this menu starts
Windows 95. If I hit the F8 function key when "Starting Windows 95"
is displayed, I get a menu with one option being something like,
"start previos version of DOS". Choosing this option will go into
6.22 and then Win3.1 if so configured. When I reinstalled something
I lost my "previous version of DOS" menu option, but that was
working fine for quite awhile.

One thing that I picked up from this thread is that the C: drive
should be FAT with DOS system files installed on it to make things
simpler. I believe the others that it is possible to fix up BOOT.INI.
That's interesting. I never knew about that, but installing things
as I said I never had to worry about such things. Everything just
worked.

I don't believe this. My experience is contrary.
