When the root file system is umsdos, then the base system must be
installed in /linux rather than in / (because at boot time the kernel
swaps / and /linux and this can not be achieved later by any mount
option).  Because of that the mount.d script for umsdos has to mount
to /target2, remove /target and create symlink /target ->
/target2/linux.

I commited the changes for enabling swap during file system creation.
