Hello.

I just installed mtools from the 2.1.6 ports collection and mformat does not
work. It says:

vas# mformat a:
mformat: Non-removable media is not supported (You must tell the complete geomet
ry of the disk, either in /etc/mtools or on the command line)
vas#

I am trying to format a floppy. It has been formatted with fdformat. My
mtools.conf file looks like this:

drive a: file="/dev/fd0" exclusive
mtools_lower_case=1

mcopy and other utilities do work. Any ideas?
