Kenneth D. Merry once stated:

=To format a disk, you would do something like this:
=
=camcontrol cmd -n da -u 0 -t 3600 -v -c "4 0 0 0 0 0"

Yep, this similar to what the scsiformat(8) script was doing using
the scsi(8) command.

IMHO, it is very bad, the scsi(8) did not survive the switch to CAM as
a backward-compatability interface... Or, at least, the nice scsiformat
should be re-introduced, using the camcontrol as a back-end.

Then again, where are my patches...
