You can specify auto for the root type.  It's not recommended, but it's
possible.  I have auto specified in my fstab -- I'm not sure what I was
thinking when I did it, but it works and mounts the partition as ext3,
based on the fact that my logs indicate that journalling was activated
for the partition.
