You need to put a filesystem  and disklabel on the floppy as well.

In the INSTALL.TXT file in the distribution it gives the following
instructions to prepare a floppy:

        fdformat -f 1440 fd0.1440
        disklabel -w -r fd0.1440 floppy3
        newfs -t 2 -u 18 -l 1 -i 65536 /dev/rfd0

cheers,
Carey Nairn
