That DOS-program helped me too.  Alas bteasy17 seems not to work
correctly on my machine (even after the proper re-installation it
had this hangup when switching back to BSD), so I tried the alternative
"OS-BS" which works just fine and even gives me the formerly missing
feature of booting into Lose95 w/o altering the default OS. :-)
