  FreeBSD can't handle FAT32.  So when you are installing Windows 95,
if it asks you if you'd like special support for partitions over 2
gigs (fat32) choose NO.  It should handle normal windows 95 partitions
just fine though.  I believe it shows long filenames with their 8.3
counterparts (filena~1.ext) but I may be wrong.  This sounds like a
question for -questions ;)
