O.K. - shoot me. I`m stuck. I wanted to create a floppy (not msdos) so i could backup some scripts etc. I did :- fdformat /dev/fd0a and it worked fine. Onto the disklabel, so I try disklabel -w -r /dev/fd0a fd1440 and it fails, tried the man page but I just don`t get it :-( I guess newfs /dev/fd0a when disklabel works. Any help or hints much appreciated. Bricks and bats accepted.
