OK so far.

First, you'll need to make space for FreeBSD by either reinstalling Win95
with a smaller slice size or use the FIPS utility to split the Win95
slice.  In any case, you'll need unallocated space to put the FreeBSD
slice into (it uses a completely different file system than Win95 does).

FIPS is available from the ftp site or CDROM in tools.

If you elect to reinstall, then install Win95 first.  Win95 will kill the
boot sector, and you will want to install the boot manager so you can boot
between FreeBSD and Win95, so installing Win95 last will hose the boot
manager.

Then install FreeBSD in the remaining space.
