OK. I've been properly wised up. I should have had a boot floppy to re-run
lilo from; or I should have installed Win95 first then Linux. However,
I had corroborative evidence for my statement: the Win95+Win3.1+Linux
mini-HOWTO says:
You will need TWO hard disks. This is due to some DOS/Windoze
limitations with respect to booting and allocation of drive letters.
Believe me, I tried to get it working with one.
I'm sorry if I misinformed people; wasn't trying to; just trying to be
helpful. (See if I ever post to this list again!)
