   shortest FAT32

   I'm still busy with manual creation of UEFI-GPT conform environment.   
      
   my idea is to make the first partition FAT32, but as small as possible.   
   because M$-FAT are defined by number of clusters rather then else my   
   only choice will be to set cluster-size to one sector   
   [65525 sectors] I need only 512 MB for my OS boot section, what a waste.   
      
   are there other ways to shorten a FAT32 w/o breaking too many rules ?   
   perhaps by write the first 8 bytes of the FAT ?
