And, unfortunately, won't. DOS (win95) must boot from the first partition on the first disk if I recall correctly. Probably your best bet is to switch disks and make the fbsd disk the 2nd, win95 the 1st on the 1st, and solaris the 2nd partition on the 1st disk. You could also make a small DOS partition on the fbsd disk, but you'd have to backup and reinstall fbsd.
