A guide to installing windows 95 on dosbox is at: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=24936. After installing two problems (mentioned below) arise. Although the solution is in the guide above it doesn't mention setting these options are mandatory for win 95 to work.
1st Problem: After installing win 95 on boot screen goes blank
Cause: core is set to auto and dynamic-core (of dosbox) is causing win 95 to fail booting
Solution: core=normal must be set in dosbox configuration file.
2nd Problem: After successfully installing win 95 on dosbox curser looks like large square black area and screen image is distorted
Cause: cputype is set to auto
Solution: cputype=pentium_slow must be set in dosbox configuration file.
Since machine type is already set to svga_s3 by default no need to change it. But the options above must be set for win 95 to work on dosbox.
