See the romboot loader for cepc:
WINCE500\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\CSP\X86\ROMBOOT

It has support for fat formatted drives.

a note of caution - the code in romboot will only work for FAT16, not
FAT32 formatted drives, and only if the card has a master boot record
(ie partition table).
We found that if you format your CF card in a Windows desktop PC, you
generally end up with one big partition and no MBR. Romboot doesn't like
cards formatted that way, and WinXP doesn't let you reformat them any
other way...
Also, by default WinXP will likely try to format a card as FAT32.

We ended up hacking around with the romboot code quite a lot to support
cards formatted by XP.
