It's hard to say what's going wrong because you provided almost no
information.
However one possible solution is to write add some simple commands to your
system start-up scripts (/etc/rc.d/rc.local or the equivalent). For
example:
sleep 10
mount ...
The effect should be the same as if you had typed the mount command by
hand.
