Can you be more specific about what you mean by "nothing would happen"? My guess is either: 1) The 'active' partition was reset. Try setting it to your Win95 partition with DOS FDISK. 2) Wrong geometry. Try putting a small DOS partition on the second disk, then install FreeBSD over it, deleting it in the process if you don't want it.
