FAT installation of eCS was not officially supported (except possibly in version 1.1). However, it does work, at least as recently as (IIRC) version 2.0. I'm not sure about 2.1; ISTR it will no longer work in 2.2 because some required components with long filenames are now installed on the boot drive.
(FWIW, I wrote the relevant parts of the eCS installer and I put considerable care into making sure that FAT installation was still possible up until the last version or two; it just got too hard to do eventually.)
The eCS installer will not let you format the boot volume as FAT. However, if it's already formatted as FAT then it will still let you install to it (at least pre 2.2).
