I have to trying mount the disk image like this

First, I have mounting the folder. The command is, MOUNT D: D:\Dosbox

After that, I go to D: path

Then, I try mount the disk image (95.img). The command is, imgmount 2 95.img -size 1250, 63, 16, 2953 -fs none. But after I just enter it said "The image must be on a host or local drive"

WTF, the 95.img was on local drive, but it said the img is not on local drive

Where the solution is it!?

Sorry for my bad English

Not working, it must using number.

It said
"Must specify drive number (0-3) to mount image at(0, 1=fda, 2;fdb, 3=hda, hdb)"

Ok, it seems you're skipping a step found in the wiki...as you can see the first lines are

Z:>mount d c:\images 
Z:>d:

So mount the folder with your images first and change to that drive
Also, the numbers say 3 is for hard disks...so try

imgmount 3 95.img -size 1250, 63, 16, 2953 -fs none

Still not working, it still showing the message:
