First try 'gdalinfo --formats' to check that FAST support is enabled.

supported gdal formats:
  http://www.gdal.org/formats_list.html

FAST is there:
  http://www.gdal.org/frmt_fast.html


so it should be possible to load it.


>From that GDAL help page:
"Datasets in FAST format represented by several files: one or more
administrative headers and one or more files with actual image data in
raw format." ... "This driver wants administrative file for input."

so try 'r.in.gdal input=HEADER.DAT'  (assuming that is the admin file)

If 'gdalinfo HEADER.DAT' doesn't work, you may have to try over on the
GDAL mailing list for more help.
