Hi!

I managed to make a program to physically format a floppy disk on 386bsd.

It is just a quick hack.  There is a possibility that use of this package 
may cause trouble.

So...

USE THIS PACKAGE ON YOUR OWN RISK.

Enjoy!

XFIRST OF ALL:
X
X  386BSD is an excellent OS.  Now we can throw away our good old MS-DOS
X...almost.
X
X  It is very sad to find things which we cannot do with 386BSD but can 
Xwith MS-DOS...for example, formatting floppy disks.  So first of all I 
Xmade a formatter for formatting floppy disks.  
X
XCHANGES:
X
Xsys/i386/isa/fd.c:
X	Adding fdioctl().
X	Adding formatting process to fdintr().
X
Xsys/sys/ioctl.h
X	Adding FDIOCFORMAT and FDIOCM.
X
XHOW TO INSTALL:
X
X1) Apply patch to kernel, as shown below.
X
X	# cd /sys
X	# patch -p < fdformat.diff
X
X  This may be rejected because of the changes applied to i386/
Xi386/conf.c.  In such a case, add fdioctl manually by checking 
X.rej.
X
X  Make sure ioctl to /dev/rfd* calls fdioctl.
X
X2) Add 
X
X	options	FDFORMAT
X
Xto sys/i386/conf/MYCONFIG.  
X
X3) Re-configurate kernel as below.
X
X	# cd /sys/compile/MYCONFIG
X	# make depend
X	# make
X
X4) Copy the new kernel to /, as shown below.
X
X	# mv /386bsd /386bsd.old
X	# cp 386bsd /386bsd
X
X5) Make and install fdformat, as shown below.
X
X	# make
X	# make install
X
X6) Reboot.
X
X	# sync; sync; sync;
X	# fastboot		<- or shutdown, halt, whatever you like.  
X
X  Now all the instllation is done.  
X
XHOW TO USE:
X
XUsage:	% fdformat [special device] 
X
X  If special device is not specified, you will be asked if you want to 
Xformat /dev/rfd0a.  If you choose y, formatting will start.
X
X  Devices are
X
X	a:	1.4MB
X	b:	1.2MB
X	c/d:	360KB
X
X  For more information, see the array in the beginning of i386/isa/fd.c.  
X
XKNOWN BUGS:
X
X1) It is rather slow to read from and write to floppy disks formatted 
Xwith this formatter.  Will someone please tell me the correct interlib 
Xand length of GAP3?  
X
X2) Fdioctl only checks if the device is opened writable.  
X
X#This means anyone can execute format with ioctl(fd, FDIOCFORMAT, &track).
X
X  If you think this may cause trouble, try to do with changeing the 
Xpermission for /dev/rfd??.  
X
X3) This program may format floppy disks when it shouldn't, which can 
Xcause trouble.  
X
X4) This program can not work well on TOSHIBA J3100SLVW.
