Boot with qemu -fda tomsrtbt.raw -hda win95.img -boot a then try to do a fdisk -l /dev/hda if you see your partition, mount it. If everything is in place (the boot flag, and so on) this is a win95 boot issue. (go to www.bootdisk.com to join a boot floppy for win95) If fdisk complains, the win95.img is not a harddisk image.
