This is fun!!!
Install dos/wfw3.11, then over the top put NT in same directory, this 
will dual boot.
Boot 3.11 and upgrade to 95, 95 should detect NT, and will then install 
itself into another directory. Now you can boot NT, or 95, when booting 
95 press F8 and you get the option to boot old o/s, this then boots 
into dos/wfw3.11 Tried and tested and wonderful.
You now have three o/s that will boot /run independently.
The theory, (what do you mean I'm copping out) is that OS/2 will go over 
the top completely, and when you tell OS/2 to revert back to booting
DOS, it restores the previous boot tracks as if untouched, almost.
I've experienced OS/2 over NT and DOS dual booting OK, but never did the 
full monty, no reason why it shouldn't, I just couldn't stand the
aggravation of selecting o/s on power on.
