Well, as I wrote above, I know about the fdformat program, and low level formatting is actually not what my question was aimed at -- it was aimed at the disklabel / filesystem level of formatting. But this may have got lost in my overly long email. :-) Also, the question was not how to get the job of putting a filesystem onto a floppy accomplished at all, but which is the right or preferred way to do so (since there are, as I pointed out several possible ways). Thanks anyway, Michael
