I've put floppy disk formatting changes into the kernel on lola, and installed
/usr/sbin/fdformat.
(although maybe it should go to /usr/bin ?)
There's a man page installed as well. Basically, to format a 1.44MB 3.5" floppy
you run 'fdformat /dev/rfd0a'; to format a 1.2MB 5.25" floppy,
'fdformat /dev/rfd1a'. (the `a' floppy device is always the default density
for the drive). For other densities, you need to match the right minor device
with the floppy drive to get the desired density. The floppy device driver
man page should be updated to list them, but for now you need to read the
source.
