It's in dosfstools. You can bitbake it yourself with OE/MokoMakefile or 
download one that I've built from 
http://members.shaw.ca/mmontour/neo/dosfstools_2.11-r0_armv4t.ipk

Note that the "Booting from SD" wiki page is out of date. The newest 
u-boot images (20080723 or newer) are able to load the kernel from 
ext2/3 so you don't need a FAT partition any more.
