fstab vfat boot hang

[Gary Stainburn]

Hi folks.

If I have the following line (below, line-wrapped single line) in my 
/etc/fstab my machine hangs during bootup at the fsck stage complaining 
that VFAT checking is still ALPHA.  There is no HDD activity.

If I boot in rescue mode and remove the line the box boots fine.

What do I need to do to the line so I can leave it it and still have the 
machine boot.  I've tried 'nocheck' and 'check=no' as possible options.

Gary
