While using Gentoo's installation disks, I have successfully mounted the disk partitions without caring to tell the installation linuxrc as to what formatting was provided. it mounted reiserfs, vfat and xfs every time. that may be one workaround. Boot your comp with installation disk, let the media detect what you have on your comp, do a file on it or mount it. xfs, ext2/3 and reiserfs tell you at the time of mounting if they are there. Mounting is silent for vfat. No idea about NTFS though...
