If you install it on both hard disks it would allow you to multi-boot different OS's on EACH disk. You probably only want to install it on the Master disk, and install a standard MBR on the FBSD disk if it isn;t your Master disk. If FBSD is your Master disk, leave the Windows95 dist untouched. I have had win95 and FBSD dual booting, but it has been a long time ago. Does this > option affects the Windows 95 system boot area? U know, M$ is always not > so stable.
