vfat not supported? Hmm, well, I guess you could compile it into the
kernel (or as a module, whatever..), but since you're pretty new to
Linux, that's probably not an option. 

I use SuSE 6.1 myself, and if I'm correct, the default kernel has
support for umsdos, so you might try replacing 'vfat' with 'umsdos'. 

Also, and this is probably a lot simpler, you can add a mount point with
YaST (not sure about YaST2, never seen it). Simply choose the following:

Adjustment of installation -> 
   Set target partitions/filesystems

It's as simple as that!

See ya,
