If you can't get at booteasy, then grab bootinst.exe and boot.bin from the /tools directory from ftp.freebsd.org or from the CDROM and run it on your first disk. YOu'll need to boot from DOS 6.x if you're using Win95 to so you can write to the bootblocks. That should fix that problem. If booteasy loops forever still, then the geometry on your FreeBSD disk is wrong. Try reinstalling, but this time put a small DOS partition on the disk, then delete it and put FreeBSD over it in the install fdisk editor.
