This is a joke?! I give the cp850 parameter so the fs driver can do the mapping. This clearly is the fs driver's job. vfat maps correctly, and is using the same kernel.
I'll ask on the mailing list.

According to docs this only works if I use the MSDOS fs instead of VFAT. But using MSDOS fails converting non ASCII chars.
