Just go in tools on freebsd cdrom and get the boot.bin & bootinst.exe
put the in the C:\ dir start win95 command prompt only.
start bootinst and answer yes .
restart and you will have the options of win95 or freebsd.
I like having that in C: dir incase you upgrade win95 that makes it easy
to reinstall the boot loader.
