If you didn't mean to create it under eCos..., you can use Linux as well

32 Mb ms-dos disk

1) dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/msdos count=64k 	;# 512x64k room
2) mkfs.msdos /tmp/msdos, or mkmsdos /tmp/msdos ;# create ms-dos fs
3) mount /tmp/msdos /mnt/disk -oloop,rw 	;# mount, do it as root

I think that using `mtools', you can mformat it, mcopy files there, etc.
