Oh, hell. I read your question quickly and sent you the answer to a
different (more specific) question. What you need to do is basically:
(1) Install the new hard drive.
(2) Use Windows' boot disk to partition and format it.
(3) Install Windows 95 on the new drive.
(4) Restore FreeBSD's boot manager to the MBR as described in the
messages I referred to in my previous email. :)
Sorry about that,
Lucas
