If you reinstall Win95, it'll blow away the boot sector, thus the boot manager. Running /tools/bootinst.exe off the CD will restore it, or it's on ftp.freebsd.org in /pub/FreeBSD/tools. Also, most BIOSs won't let you boot anything past the 1024 cylinder mark, so make sure the root partition is below that.
