You can still do it even if you already have NT loaded. 
After you install win95 reboot with the NT boot disk and choose (R)
for rescue - assuming you have made a rescue disk. Then it will
eventually give you a choice of what to recover, just pick the boot
files choice and it will detect win95 and let you do a dual boot. 

I had to do this and it works :) I already had a dual boot with DOS
but the win95 boot files got creamed  (long story) and when I fixed
them I lost the dual boot option.
