First, boot from a DOS-Disk and use fdisk to make a DOS-Partition, which
is smaller than the entire Hard-Disk (leave some space for later
install of FreeBSD). If you dont assign the rest to a 2nd partition, 
FreeBSD detects this free space and assigns it automatically to his own
partition, otherwise: doit yourself with the FreeBSD-bootdisk.

1. On the free DOS-Partition you can install Win95
2. AFTER this, install FreeBSD 

Some bootselectors are on CD, for instance bteasy or OS-BS. they
will be applied during installation.
