Is anyone aware of C source that allows you to create an MSDOS (FAT) partition on a disk ? mformat prevents you to work on C: and in any case only works for 12-bit fat entries and small clusters. Reason why I am asking, if anyone is interested: we'd like to be able to clean up the machines in our lab from either FreeBSD or a boot eprom. We are going to use a modified FreeBSD boot eprom, with entries which allow to choose which boot method to use. If the FAT-creation code is sufficiently small, then it can fit on the eprom as well, together with the code to write a boot sector on the disk.
