I think the msdos module is not loaded. Mount does not autoprobe for
this file system by default. It checks /proc/filesystems, and msdos is
only listed if the driver has been loaded. You can solve the problem by
either
- loading the msdos module at boot time
- copying /proc/filesystems to /etc/filesystems and adding msdos
read the mount man page for details
