You need to edit your /etc/fstab file and make sure it has the line

/dev/hda1      /mnt/win98     vfat     defaults      0 0

That tells the file system device where and how to mount the drive by default.
For some readon, on my system Red Hat does not include this line in fstab, even
if I tell it to during installation.  I always have to add it manually.
