Yes; best to install 95 first, as it will wipe out the Master Boot
Record, which is where the boot manager goes.  FreeBSD will offer
to install this for you, and you do want it.  But you may prefer
to install a different one (e.g., osbs) from the (I think) tools
directory.

See http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials for a tutorial on multi-os
booting and a tutorial for new users, among others.  You can
also search the mailing list archives on www.freebsd.org on this
topic and many others.
