1. For the NT machine, one option is to use 'bootpart'.  See:

     http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm

   You will need to move lilo to the root partition before you try to use
   bootpart.


2. You need to make sure that you can still boot the win95 machine.  So if
   you installed lilo there, you will need to de-install it.
