There are basically two forms of correct usage. The general one is just: newfs /dev/rsd1a A more specific one, here for a floppy is: newfs -t 0 -u 0 -i 65536 -l 1 -m 3 /dev/rfd0 (assumes the floppy has been labelled with fd1440 etc.) There's not much more you would need. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
