Installing another OS on VPC 6.1 (with XP)

SJ, what do you mean '...and use a disk image'? I downloaded the
win95 boot file from bootdisk.com which is an exe file. So I went on
my old pc and double clicked the file to make a floppy (don't have a
floppy on my imac) then I created a data cd on my pc with all the info
that was on my floppy. Then I came to my iMAC and put the cd in then
hit start up in VPC list to start win95 and when it came up with
'...OS not on system', I mounted the cd in the VPC toolbar and then
hit enter. Nothing happens?? Please help. thx.
