Damn, sorry, hit 'y' (send) when I meant 'q' 'y' (postpone).

I meant to say that for my own custom boot-floppies I've added a 'manual'
option to the "Please select the partition to mount" menu[1] (so that
I can mount LVM and MD block devices, which have no partition type).
I've been relying on busybox mount to automatically pick up the filesystem
type, but I can see that isn't safe at present.

[1] I'll offer my patch soon, for anyone interested.
