Do you do this with fips currently? With osbs or booteasy?

Well for win95/unix you can use fips OR 2 real partitions. Use dos fdisk 
for the win95 or dos622 partition and then FreeBSD fdisk for the bsd  
partition. The default dual boot program for FreeBSD is booteasy.

Be careful if you use fips and want to mount your dos partition. It can 
be iffy. Use 2 real partitions if you can.
