I think if you will look in /etc/fstab, you will see its fs_vfstype is
auto.  That works okay, linux is able to recognize the fat partition,
but it confuses wineinstall.  Last I looked at it, wineinstall was
looking for vfat there to tip it off to a windows partition.  If you
change that from auto to vfat, that may help wineinstall.  I will maybe
see if I can work out a better way, but in the Mean Time you may as well
try that.

You can always edit the ~/.wine/config file yourself if you don't like
my suggestion above or it doesn't work.

Well, it's more a wine-users kind of question, but maybe wineinstall
could do with a little work here.

It's been a couple of days since I looked at wineinstall, it might have
changed.
