Okay, before this patch, we got the fixed filesytem type from libfdisk.
But libfdisk did allways return "msdos" - and the ancient msdos driver
does not support fat32 variant at all.

Just copy&pasted to feed sprintf with the same arguments. But forget it,
I made another workaround to replace msdos with vfat if supported. This
is untested, but should work. I will test later.
