The FAT filesystem will not work in RedBoot since it requires too many
kernel facilities to work. You cannot put the kernel into RedBoot
since RedBoot is intended to be a stand alone application, there are
just too many assumptions for this to work.

The only use that RedBoot would have for FAT filesystem support is to
load executables. So a simple read-only loader similar to the one that
already exists for ext2 would be a better solution.
