Description of problem:
when responding 'r' to the 'Do you want to mount your partitions' question, vfat
partitions are mounted rw regardless.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot SysAdmin CD
2. type 'r' at the question 
3. cat /proc/mounts
4. create a file on the partition

requested)
