From /etc/fstab:
> /dev/hda1            /mnt/win95           vfat       noauto,owner    0  0

The 'noauto' in the /mnt/win95 line tells the boot scripts not to
mount this at boot time; (*)you'll need to either (a) remove the 'noauto'
option and reboot, or (b) mount /mnt/win95 manually after booting.

(*) 7.2 may have some automounter magic of which I'm unaware; if so,
then someone else needs to supplement this answer.
