I have to wonder how you came up with that, vs reading the man page for fdformat(8). That tells you to use setfdprm(8) to set the parameters of the generic device before trying to use it. Further, why wouldn't you just use superformat(1)? It usually does a MUCH better job with marginal media than fdformat(8) does, and it'll invoke mformat for you when it's done. -- Marc Wilson | Auribus teneo lupum.
