i am having a hell of a time trying to format 4 msdos partitions

i have a 13 gig drive on /dev/wd1
this is the result of fdisk /wd1

The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 4,(Primary DOS with 16 bit FAT (<= 32MB))
    start 63, size 6362748 (3106 Meg), flag 0
        beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
        end: cyl 396/ sector 63/ head 16
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 4,(Primary DOS with 16 bit FAT (<= 32MB))
    start 6362811, size 6362748 (3106 Meg), flag 0
        beg: cyl 396/ sector 1/ head 17;
        end: cyl 792/ sector 63/ head 32
The data for partition 3 is:
sysid 4,(Primary DOS with 16 bit FAT (<= 32MB))
    start 12725559, size 6362748 (3106 Meg), flag 0
        beg: cyl 792/ sector 1/ head 33;
        end: cyl 164/ sector 63/ head 48
The data for partition 4 is:
sysid 4,(Primary DOS with 16 bit FAT (<= 32MB))
    start 19088307, size 6362685 (3106 Meg), flag 0
        beg: cyl 164/ sector 1/ head 49;
        end: cyl 560/ sector 63/ head 63

here is the result of the first newfs_msdos

su-2.03# newfs_msdos /dev/wd1s1
newfs_msdos: warning: /dev/wd1s1 is not a character device
/dev/wd1s1: 6350312 sectors in 793789 FAT32 clusters (4096 bytes/cluster)
bps=512 spc=8 res=32 nft=2 mid=0xf8 spt=63 hds=64 hid=63 bsec=6362748 bspf=6202 rdcl=2 infs=1 bkbs=2

result of mount

su-2.03# mount /dev/wd1s1 /mnt
mount: /dev/wd1s1 on /mnt: incorrect super block


am i doing something wrong here?
