Yes and no, respectively; FreeBSD can coexist with Win95.  There are some
small inconveniences in the install process having to do with Win95's
restrictions on direct disk access (no big deal), and FreeBSD can't read
the new VFAT32 Win95 filesystem (this doesn't concern you unless you're
using Windows 97), and other than that there are no problems that I know
of.
