you need this
***
Note: if you do not have mkfs.vfat you must find and install the
"dosfstools" package. This package does not seem to be in the official
feeds, but an unofficial build may be downloaded from http://members.shaw.ca/mmontour/neo/dosfstools_2.11-r0_armv4t.ipk

Subject: Debian installation - mkfs.vfat not present
According to the 'Booting from SD' page on wiki, I have to do a mkfs.vfat on the kernel partition. However, only mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ext3 is available. I tried with ext2 last week and had the kernel repeatedly getting curropted. Is this because of it not being a vfat partition or does my using a SDHC card matter?
