I have a 4gb Kingston SDHC with FAT32 in my JBL. I've also done 3 firmware updates (and one downgrade) with it still formatted as FAT32 without a problem. I like living on the edge and don't even reformat the card to do firmware upgrades. I just add the three folders for the update to the SD card with my existing ebook folders and upgrade the firmware. So far, I've had no issues with FAT32 or ebook folders on the SD card when doing firmware upgrades. I know this is not the "recommended" method, but it does work.
