You need a spare partition. You do not install FreeBSD _on_ Win95. 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.
