hello

I just buy a laptop, and the disk floppy is on an usb interface

I installed a redhat 7.3, it configure the floppy as device /dev/sda
and it works well : I can mount, read, write on floppy disk
I can also create a filesystem with the mke2fs command

but I now want to make a low-level format, and try to use the fdformat
(I need to have a floppy in 1,7 Mo for tomsrtbt linux mini-distribution)

but it fails :
> fdormat /dev/sda
/dev/sda: not a floppy device

I try on floppy device :
>fdformat /dev/fd0
/dev/fd0: No such device or adress

I then tried with a symbolic link from /dev/sda to /dev/fd0, but :
>fdformat /dev/fd0
/dev/fd0: not a floppy device

do you know how to do ?
