I added "-r" to the "read" command in /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh, then added:
/dev/disk/by-label/W-98\x20SE /win98se vfat
defaults,users,uid=65534,gid=65534,umask=000,shortname=win95 0
2
to /etc/fstab. At boot time, the filesystem fails to fsck, but gets
mounted alright.
Wed Jul 8 05:16:01 2009: [/sbin/fsck.vfat (1) -- /win98se] fsck.vfat -a
/dev/disk/by-label/W-98x20SE
Wed Jul 8 05:16:01 2009: open /dev/disk/by-label/W-98x20SE:No such file
or directory
Wed Jul 8 05:16:01 2009: dosfsck 3.0.3, 18 May 2009, FAT32, LFN
Wed Jul 8 05:16:01 2009: fsck died with exit status 1

Arthur.
