The same way you can format any other disk. I usually format my USB sticks by creating a single da0s1 slice and then one (or more) BSD labels in that slice, by typing the commands: fdisk -BI /dev/da0 bsdlabel -w -B /dev/da0s1 newfs /dev/da0s1a If they are going to be used by non-BSD systems, I prefer msdosfs, so I use: fdisk -BI /dev/da0 newfs_msdos /dev/da0s1 The command-line options and what they do will be more obvious if you read the manpages of fdisk(8), bsdlabel(8), newfs(8), and newfs_msdos(8). There is also a nice article online that you will probably find useful: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/formatting-media/index.html _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
