Do you mean that you put the floppy into the floppy drive, reboot the 
computer, and then it goes into the Win95 boot sequence?  Or do you mean 
that you have FreeBSD installed onto your hdd, have booteasy installed, and 
that your computer boots Win95 even if you press [F2] or whatever for 
FreeBSD?

If you mean that your computer boots Windows 95 even if you have the 
FreeBSD boot floppy in, then you should check your boot sequence.  The 
`A' drive should be checked first, then the `C' drive.

If you have installed from the floppy fine, there are a number of other
problems that could be biting you.  I can never keep them or their
solutions straight, but in lue of anyone who can responding, you might try
installing OSBS (from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools/).

IDE or SCSI?  Is there another DOS partition on the second drive, or is 
it just purely for FreeBSD?
