Is there anybody, who can tell me how to lowlevel-format floppies under 
386BSD ? The mtools only offer to highlevel-format floppies and I know of 
fdformat or format on SunOS or SysV-PC-Unixes. 

Is there such a tool under 386BSD (Jolix) ?
Perhaps I haven't seen it in the binary-package ?

It would be nice to get an answer to this question.

Ciao Uwe
