That definitely helps, though you would have to include entries
	for msdos filesystems in dual boot PC systems, and it doesn't
	help you with arbitrary medial such as zip or a non iso9660
	CDROM.

	In the case where the disklabel has a valid filesystem type, mount
	should really use it - I've seen dual boot PC systems with a MSDOS
	partition that passes mount_ffs (with only light FAT damage when
	reused under windows).
