The "-t vfat" may not be necessary. You may have to load the vfat module
first too, but the mount call *should* automagically do it.

There are quite a few options you can pass to mount for vfat - man mount
for them all. You can also find information in there on how to mount the
partition on boot by editing your /etc/fstab.
