I don't see how a static /etc/fstab could by of any help. The MiNT
filesystem
handling is a bit more flexible than the historic Unix way. This means,
that
the filesystem type of a given drive can change "any" time (after a
media
change).

If a utility *really* needs to know the fs type of a drive, we will have
to
add a call (Dcntl?) to inquire it.
