I *think* you are using the wrong instructions.  I've never installed that 
way.  Perhaps using the floppies would help.  See the 
http://www.freebsddiary.com/freebsd/dual.htm and it will walk you through 
installation on a Windows 95 box.  It will also point you to the sections 
in the handbook you should have read.  It *sounds* to me like you didn't 
do that first.

cheers.
