Oh well, .. what *should* be the proper way to initialize the disk as FAT32?

# mkfs.vfat -C uba1.img 8001 # the number of blocks needs to be specified

Same thing goes for FAT32 except that you need to explicitly tell mkfs to use FAT32:


# mkfs.vfat -F 32 -C uba1.img 8001
# dd if=uba1.img of=/dev/uba1
