For clarity, the error message is: > > ice-9/eval.scm:159:9: Unhandled fat16 fs-type I tried in a VM to provide a disk with a FAT16 partition to reproduce this bug. I could hit this particular error when choosing the “manual” partitioning method and then selecting the FAT16 partition. However I could not reproduce the bug when choosing the “guided” methods. I think we don’t need the installer to be able to create FAT16 partitions; we merely need it to recognize and gracefully handle them when they exist (which I think is quite unusual: the EFI System Partition seems to be FAT32 usually, no?). Anyway I think this is fixed by commit 628d09ae53047ea666f4f84ae5e5be911647fe8c, which Danny just pushed. :-) Thanks, Ludo’.
