If you don't need FAT filesystem compatibility for some reason, the
in-memory file system (IMFS) has a function to create a root file system
for you.  I think it is called mkrootfs() or something like that.

I haven't had a chance to check out the contributed FAT code yet.  Maybe
the Oktet guys will see this question, or you can email to them
directly.
