The default BL3 does not know fat32. If you need
that capability, you can insmod the vfat module
(available from the BL3 site).

Try this:
----------------------------
mount -t msdos /dev/hda3 /hd
----------------------------
BL3 knows msdos and that should mount your vfat
partition (without the long filenames).

If this doesn't help, please send another message
here and we will look into this further.

Cheers,
Steven
