If you mean you want to erase every last cluster on the disk, then you can
use the following command to do that, no matter what type of drive it is:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/fd0 count=<how far you want to go......omit to
clear whole disk>
This should essentially create a floppy disk with absolutely no information
on it; not even a boot sector. From there you can format as usual to
create a usable filesystem on the disk.

I haven't figure out yet how to do a low-level format on /dev/fd0 on
PPCs, can anybody help me?
My machine is a PowerBook 3400/potato/2.2.17, the floppy drive comes
as a module (hardware module of course :)).
Thank you,
Andre
