This is only needed for auto mounting if the kernel needs to load a
module. If the module is compiled in, or *already* loaded, the kernel
should try that fs type.
You say you have loaded vfat and *still* the kernel doesn't recognize
the fat32 partition? So "$/sbin/lsmod" shows vfat support? What about
fat support (it should be auto loaded when vfat is loaded)?
If these two are loaded your kernel should mount the partition.
