These are the steps recommended by Christophe Bothany on the Bochs mailinglist 
after they added support for truecolor to the VGABIOS:

"- install win95 with the vga driver.
 - download sdd 7 beta from http://www.majorgeeks.com/download382.html
 - download pmhelp.vxd from
     http://unununium.org/viewcvs/snap/redist/release/pmhelp.vxd
 - copy pmhelp.vxd to the win95 system directory
 - install sdd7"
