Add a FAT32 partition to memstick installer images
Added by Steve Wheeler about 6 years ago.

Description
Adding a FAT32 partition on the installer image, as we have on ARM recovery images currently, means:
- We can drop a copy of the license there
- We can drop a README.txt on there pointing to the installation docs
- Users can put a config.xml backup on there to restore during the installation.
- Status changed from New to In Progress
- Assignee set to Renato Botelho
- Status changed from In Progress to Feedback
I've added LICENSE files inside the 36Mb FAT32 partition and changed code to be able to restore a /config.xml of /conf/config.xml from it during installation.
Tested on 2.4.5.a.20181114.2257, works as expected.
- Status changed from Feedback to Resolved
Just tried this rescuing a 2.4.4-p2 config.xml
System installed correctly, and config was restored, but packages that were installed were not automatically reinstalled, leaving a half broken system (namely haproxy).
Restored the identical config file via the gui, and post reboot all packages were correctly reinstalled automatically.
