That's unusual, but ok, why not?

By using the HDConfig program of MorphOS 2.x. There is a cycle-gadget
to choose the file system type for a partition. AFAIK you can also
select MSDOS file systems.

For others not listed there, select the file system "Custom". Now you can
enter the 32-bit hex ID of your file system type. Which is 0x4d534400
for MSDOS or 0x4e425307 for a NetBSD FFS root partition.
