I have successfully setup windows 95 and bsd on a laptop
using a dualboot.  What I found is that the best way was
to setup bsd first, leaving a large enough partition for
windows 95, then setting up Windows 95.  After doing
this I had to run the bsd setup again, going through
disksetup to re-install bootany.sys, etc.  Just make
sure to setup the disk exactly as before(size of 
partitions, etc).  I did this and have had no problems.
