I hope I'm not going to get flamed for giving misinformation, but I
use:
newfs -c 80 -t 2 -u 18 -m 0 /dev/rfd0a
and it gives me the most capacity I could expect of a 1.44Mb floppy.
I think the lack of MBR on a floppy disk prevents newfs from getting
the correct geometry, but I might be quite wrong on this. I'm using

switch to 2.1.5 yet)
