I would suggest reading the documentation about kickstart, not just
guessing.
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s1-kickstart2-options.html

You'll notice the listing of valid fstype options, none of which are a0.

I would recommend looking to %pre or %post sections to format the right
partition type for you with the native tools.
