How does one format floppies...? We want to transfer files from
one PC with 386bsd to another, and mwrite seems to be crashing all th etime.
We tried to disklabel -w -r fd0a floppy5, but we got some errors
about unconfigured devices, and then newfs didn't work.
How do we get this going...?
Toodlepip!
