You should be able to kill the NT boot loader by removing the following
files from the root of the boot drive:
NTLDR
Ntdetect.com
boot.ini
I think you may have to then re-sys the drive with a win95 floppy and then
finally install LILO but I could be wrong as to the exact steps, since I
have never used LILO in a configuration like yours. But removing those 3
files should do the trick for you. You may even get lucky and find your
old win95 boot files still there. Look for stuff like bootsect.dos
msdos.dos (though I'm not sure of the names) If you find them try
renaming bootsect.dos to io.sys and msdos.dos to msdos.sys and see if
win95 boots. Assuming you still have command.com as well. If not you'll
have to sys the drive from a win95 boot floppy, then do the LILO stuff.
Best of Luck
