I just tried the following
>fdformat /dev/rfd0a
><formatted floppy>
>disklabel -w -r fd0d floppy3
>(was not sure if the syntax was correct)
fd0d is bogus, should be fd0.

This is easy to duplicate by reading from /dev/rfd0 using
char buf[8192];
main() { lseek(0, 8192ll, 0); read(0, buf, sizeof buf); }
but for some reason it isn't easy to duplicate by reading using dd.
The lseek is to avoid the magic label sector but doesn't make any
difference.
