The vfat.o module fits onto disk 2 of the latest 2-floppy BL3 so I use it 
to clone Windows 98 (which you cannot do with DOS or a running Windows 98 
that you want to clone from).  Another list member made a 1-floppy USB 
BL-based linux with vfat support built in, useful for copying files from 
Win98 to USB flash drive. mount -t vfat.  I would not be without these 
three disks.
