I don't know how your current installation is, but if you only have 1 partition with Windows 95 I would suggest you backup you current Windows 95 with the Full-Backup-Set as it is provided from MS. Repartition the HD. Install a boot manager if possible. Reinstall Windows 95 and restore the backup. Then install FreeBSD in the Second partition. Hope this helps. Don't worry, be Kneppie! Jan
