It's just the other way around ;-)

     mount [-dfpruvw] [-o options] [-t ufs | lfs | external_type] special node

So the following should work:

	mount -t msdos /dev/<partition_for_win95> /<mount_point>

BTW: I have the following line in /etc/fstab

/dev/sd0s1	/dos			msdos	rw		0 0

which mounts the dos partition at startup to /dos
/dos has to be an existing directory, preferrable empty ;-)
