System type: RTPC
System version: 6.0R
System name: all I've tried

newfs /dev/fd0 
yields the error message
newfs: /dev/fd0: can't figure out file system partition

where newfs /dev/fd0a fd1.2m 
yields
newfs: warning - actual disk type (fd1200k) differs from one specified (fd1.2m)
and then proceeds to work correctly.  The only thing that worries me is that 
according to /etc/disktab, these types are the same:
fd1.2m|FD1.2M|fd1200k|FD1200K|IBM high capacity diskette:\

I would look into this, but I have too much to do.

(for now...)
