Okay chaps,
im finding it surprisingly difficult to format a 1MB floppy on freebsd.
I want to format it for msdos.
I am trying -
# newfs -t dos /dev/fd0
but it says -
newfs: ioctl (GDINFO}: Invalid argument
newfs: /dev/fd0: can't read disk label; disk type must be specified.
I can see from man newfs that to specify the disk type you use -T but im
not sure what the argument for it is?
The disks have this printed on them - Imation 2DD 1.0MB
Thanks
Adam.
