What were you trying to do?
Newfs a 1.2meg floppy.
What's wrong:
I typed "newfs /dev/rfloppy fd1.2m" and got this error:
newfs: warning - actual disk type (fd1200k) differs from one specified (fd1.2m)
What should have happened:
"fd1.2m" is a valid name for the disk according to disktab.
So why did I get an error message? Either newfs is confused
or disktab is confused.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
/etc/disktab.
