Assuming you currenly have Boot Manager configured to boot either 
DOS or OS/2, you simply reboot to DOS and install Win95, taking
care to use fdisk (DOS or OS/2) to make the Boot Manager 
partition "active" (DOS fdisk) or bootable (OS/2 fdisk) after 
completing the installation, since when you install Win95 it will
disable Boot Manager (this is documented on the Win95 CD, BTW).

Thereafter, when you select DOS from Boot Manager, Win95 will 
load.  If you want to be able to choose between DOS and Win95 on 
that partition, tell Win95 that you want to preserve your old DOS
installation when it asks during the installation of Win95.  You
can then press "F8" when you see the "Starting Windows 95..."
text to get a menu from which you can choose to boot your
previous DOS installation.  If you have an existing Win3.x 
installation you want to preserve, make sure you install Win95 
somewhere other than C:\WINDOWS (I used C:\WIN95) or it will 
overwrite your Win3.x installation.

Note that Win98 does not allow you to keep a previous version of 
DOS or Windows on the drive.
