[SOLVED] add filesystem support to initcpio

Hi,
Like a dumddumb I managed to break my boot entry root filesystem entry after which I get dropped in to the rootfs shell.
I try to mount my boot partition with:

mkdir /boot
mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /boot

which returns "mount /boot: unknown filesystem type 'vfat'."

I can run decrypt my root part and chroot to it but that does not help since I can not mount the boot partition

I know I can reboot in to the archiso live image and fix it (I have done so) but I would like to be able to fix it from the front end.

I am not sure how to add support for vfat (I see btrfs and ext) and other filesystems in the initcpio so any help would be appreciated

Thanks for your time

You just add the modules you need to the modules array.
