Ummm - I'm not sure that booteasy is upto booting between DOS, Win95 and 
FreeBSD. I always had problems using it with more than 1 primary DOS 
partition. However in the tools directory there is a boot manager called 
osbs which is very powerful, and CAN boot from a second hard disk, an 
extended DOS partition, or any of the common unices

At the moment, I have a system with 300 MB Win95, 140MB DOS 6, and 440MB 
FreeBSD 2.1.5 built using 2 IDE hard disks and managed with osbs, and it all 
works fine.
