The man page for mount says that, when the fs type is auto, mount checks
an /etc/filesystems file before looking at the list that the kernel
currently supports in /proc/filesystems. I haven't had occasion to try
it yet, but it might be worth adding an entry for vfat there first.
FWIW, I just tried changing the fstab entry for my windows partition to
auto, and it mounted just fine. Weird.

There are very few starts. Oh, some things seem to be beginnings.
The curtain goes up, the first pawn moves, the first shot is fired
(probably at the first pawn) - but that's not the start.
