I believe "fdformat" has been superseded in hamm by "superformat" and
"mformat".
"locate format" :
/usr/bin/mformat
/usr/bin/superformat
/usr/bin/xdfformat
/usr/man/man1/mformat.1.gz
/usr/man/man1/superformat.1.gz
"whatis superformat mformat"
superformat (1) - format floppies TQ
mformat (1) - add an MSDOS filesystem to a low-level
formatted floppy disk TQ
"dpkg -S format" :
[ dpkg -S|--search <pattern> ... find package(s) owning file(s) ]
fdutils: /usr/bin/superformat
mtools: /usr/bin/mformat
Install "fdutils" and "mtools". Try "man superformat" and "man mformat"

I don't know. I found
"/var/src/kernel-source-2.0.35/Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt"
by doing a "locate vfat" on my hamm system. This file
has information about vfat including a reference to
"http://www-plateau.cs.berkeley.edu/people/chaffee/vfat.html";
