I have to agree here. Trying to use partition type codes to specify where partitions should be mounted has many flavors of fail. Among others, it assumes that there is a small, fixed set of mount points that will *work for every installation*. If you want to know what gets mounted where, look in /etc/fstab, like we've done for 40 years or so.
