I am not a big fan of Win95 but it does seem to handle device rescanning more gracefully. Devices (SCSI and others) not turned on or connected at boot can be detected by going to Control panel, System, Device manager, and selecting the refresh icon. It works! I turned my SCSI scanner off at boot and this method found it just fine - also a removeable hard drive.
This is particulary useful when using removeable hard drives - standard drives in a removeable case - used for backup or whatever - that would not normally be turned on at boot.
Why couldn't the kernel automatically scan for a device via the mount command if it is not initially detected - could be a command line option. I guess the relationship of device name to actual SCSI adress parameters would not be known - but then how does Win95 do it.....
