mkbootdisk might be checking out the /etc/fstab & detecting the vfat partitions (I assume it's your Windows partition).
Comment them out, and run mkbootdisk again. It should not give you those error messages. However, if you want vfat support, the best way would be to install the kernel sources & recompile the kernel with that supported :) -Rob > I stupidly installed a new verion of my kernel on my box using up2date. > I went from 2.4.2-2 to 2.4.9-12.
