I believe you use the make format command. I believe its mkfmt, but I'm 
just as new so I don't remember. Also, when using it you add a switch to 
tell it what file system, and then a destination. Look at the man page 
for it.

Here you use the mount command. I believe it would look like mount -t 
ext2 /dev/(unit) (destination dir). then you use umount to unmount the 
partition.  Read the man pages, they really help!
