Win95 is on my C: drive, and I installed RedHat onto my D: drive.  I allowed
it to install the LILO boot loader into the boot sector, so when I boot my
PC, LILO prompts me for which OS image to load, and if I don't type anything
within 3 (?) seconds it defaults to Win95.

It's also possible to boot from floppy.  Or you can use a commercial
product like Partition Magic, which I bought for home use but haven't yet
gotten around to re-partitioning and installing Linux.
