You'll have options when you run the installation program.
Basically, you setup your partitions on the second hard drive (it should
be something like wd1, with your first being wd0), and just leave space
for the '95 programs.  You can probably figure out how much space you'll
need for the 95 stuff and leave that much.
FYI, I had a FreeBSD partition with bin, doc, info, manpages, games and
XFree86 running on 100MB, with 24 of it going towards swap.
I CERTAINLY don't reccomend it, but you can probably do just fine with
,say, a 700MB FreeBSD partition, which leaves you something like half a
gig for 95.
Of course, you don't HAVE to run 95....
