I am using a Pentium machine with Seagate 2G IDE hard disk, the HD has
divided into 2 partitions (1G and 1G).  One for Win95 and other for
FreeBSd 2.1.  It works fine and stable since Apr. 95.  When you boot
the machine, it will ask you to boot Win95, FreeBSD or from another
floppy disk.  

P.S. I am using Win95 Chinese Edition, Win95 English will work fine. I
guess it :)

Best regards,
