Hello,
I believe that the map page for mkdosfs is out of date. For the -F
option, it specifies that FAT-32 will not be selected automatically, and
will always need to be specified if desired. However, the following
command indicates that this may not be the case:
>>>
scrat:~/x# sudo mkdosfs -c -i cafef00d -n Darkhorse -v /dev/sdc1
mkdosfs 2.11 (12 Mar 2005)
Auto-selecting FAT32 for large filesystem
/dev/sdc1 has 255 heads and 63 sectors per track,
logical sector size is 512,
using 0xf8 media descriptor, with 4000122 sectors;
file system has 2 32-bit FATs and 8 sectors per cluster.
FAT size is 3899 sectors, and provides 499036 clusters.
Volume ID is cafef00d, volume label Darkhorse .
Searching for bad blocks 77664... 158432... 239200... 319840...
<<<
Just to check, specifying FAT-16 explicitly does work:
>>>
scrat:~/x# sudo mkdosfs -c -i cafef00d -n Darkhorse -v -F 16 /dev/sdc1
mkdosfs 2.11 (12 Mar 2005)
/dev/sdc1 has 255 heads and 63 sectors per track,
logical sector size is 512,
using 0xf8 media descriptor, with 4000122 sectors;
file system has 2 16-bit FATs and 64 sectors per cluster.
FAT size is 245 sectors, and provides 62493 clusters.
Root directory contains 512 slots.
Volume ID is cafef00d, volume label Darkhorse .

If you'd like any further information, do let me know and I'll be happy
to add to the bug report as appropriate.
All the best,
