I'm not 100% certain that it's busybox mount "limitation", but it's my
best guess. Doing it in fstab is better anyway.

About your suggestion for a default entry in fstab, I don't think that's
going to work reliable. Not everyone has an USB device mounted on
/dev/sda1, maybe he even has an other device on /dev/sda1 or the USB
device is not vfat formatted. So sorry, you have to be a bit less lazy and
use mount -t or add it to fstab ;-) The update option will preserve the
entry when you move to a newer Bering-uClibc release.
