What would usually work best is:
1.Partition your disk(s) into separate slices (partitions) for Win95 and
FreeBSD (actually, create the Win95 slice, leaving enough space
unpartitioned on the disk, unless you use separate disks).

2. Install Win95.

3. Install FreeBSD telling it to install the boot manager (BootEasy) on
the first disk.

That's it!

For more info you may want to take a look at the tutorial at:
