Thanks marc, that helped.

It turned out that I also needed to add some nodes to the filesystem;

@sda,b,8,0

@sda1,b,8,1

Hopefully I got this correct?

So, now when I mount the USB partition I get 

mount -n -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
FAT: codepage cp437 not found
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
       or too many mounted file systems#

What could cause "FAT: codepage cp437 not found" ?

I believe that the formatting is correct; 

Disk /dev/sda: 65 MB, 65011712 bytes
2 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1024 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 124 * 512 = 63488 bytes
   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1               1        1024       63457    b  Win95 FAT32
