To cleanly bsd-ufs-format a floppy, I have a sequence of three commands: # fdformat -f 1440 fd0.1440 # disklabel -B -r -w fd0.1440 fd1440 # newfs -t 2 -u 18 -l 1 -c 40 -i 5120 -m 5 -o space fd0.1440 Try them and test your new floppy. Compare the outputs of # disklabel /dev/fd0 # newfs -N /dev/fd0 to those of your old floppy. Have big fun. Uli.
