You install it _next to_ Win95 on your harddrive. When FreeBSD runsit has nothing to do with windows. When windows runs it has nothign to do with FreeBSD. It does not matter what file system the partition is. When FreeBSD is done with it it will be the "Berkeley Fast File System" file system, otherwise known as ufs.
