I bet you didn't make it. Try making a small root partition at the beginning of the disk, install Win95 behind it, and put the rest of the FreeBSD slice at the end. This way the root partition is below the 1024 cylinder mark. > IT SOUNDED WEIRD!!!! Your IDE controller told your drive to do something wacky, and it did it. I don't think it hurt it but it sure sounds scary.
