Install ext3fs with FAI

Hi,

Here is a patch to setup_harddisk that enable the use of ext3 easily :
If you don't specify the type of partition, you'll have auto in the fstab.

In the disk_config, just add the -j option after the semi-colon to format
with ext3. Add ext3 if you want the keyword ext3 be in fstab in place of
auto.

If you don't put the -j flag, you'll have ext2 partitions, but you'll need
to give the ext2 option to have the ext2 keyword in fstab in place of
auto.
