Filesystem write support has been proposed a number of times and rejected. Check the grub-devel archives for details.

Squeezing all this into a single floppy is entirely possible, using either freedos or Linux as the OS booted from the floppy.. One of the installation methods we use involves booting from a GRUB from a floppy, have GRUB load freedos from the floppy, format the DOS drive, copy the needed GRUB files to the DOS drive, then reboot into GRUB to finish the GRUB installation.

Bloating grub with the code needed to format FAT partitions etc is not a good path I think.

I agree that having a small DOS tool to install GRUB would indeed be nice. Don't know enought of DOS programming to make one however..
