Bug Description

How to reproduce:

- Choose a FAT 32 partition during the installation and mount it as /dos. Do not format it.
- The installer adds it to fstab as type "fat32"
- Upon reboot, system fails to mount partition as "fat32" isn't the correct type.

Solution:

Installer should detect the partition as type "vfat" instead.
