Actually most boot managers will work with NT just fine.  The problem
here may simply be the partition number is screwy.  Check the boot.ini
and see what partition number it's pointing to.  You might need to
change it to point to a difference number (2 vice 1).

Also you might have problems if the Win95 partition is FAT32.
