: Win95 doesn't like to co-exist with other systems, hence it clobbers
: your boot selector.  Install it first, and FreeBSD afterwards.


	It definitely does.  If this happens, you can use your FreeBSD
install disk and go about as if you are installing the FreeBSD system
again EXCEPT do NOT mount any file systems.  This has the effect of
re-installing the boot selector again.

	Just thought I'd mention this in case anyone else runs into the
same situation.  Also would like to know if there is an easier way to do
this from the install diskette?
