mount -t vfat /dev/YOURW95PARTITIONHERE should do it.... However, if you don't have vfat support in your kernel (you should though), then recompile the kernel. Be sure to say 'yes' to native language support. Then an option will come up asking about vfat support, say 'yes' there also. Oh... make sure you're trying the proper partition too. Hope this helps!
