I have a similar configuration.  Mine was two SCSI 1 gig disks.  The 
first was all Win 95 (still the beta June release; I can't bring 
myself to pay for it).  The second disk was all FreeBSD.  Then I 
split the Win95 and installed Windows NT.  I noticed that it's dual
boot program installed its self on the first partitions boot point.
So my existing boot manager (OSBS) would ask for FreeBSD or Win95
and then I would get a secondary boot menu (when I go to Win95) asking
for NT or Win95.  The problem I have is that I cant get rid of that
stupid secondary menu even though I reclaimed the NT partition.  Fdisk
/MBR doesn't hack it.  Any ideas?

So, in short, yes it will work.

I wouldn't trust that NT loader.

Good luck.
