Yes, that is exactly my question. > The best answer I know is fdformat. It works. It's simple and it's the > most commonly accepted way to do what you asked. Please put me straight if I am mistaken, but for all I know, fdformat does not create any filesystem on a floppy *at all*! It does a low level format of the floppy i.e. organize the raw data space into cylinders, heads and sectors, etc. If you happen to have a filesystem on a floppy after doing fdformat, then I am really puzzled. The OpenBSD-FAQ-Section you seem to be referring to must be the installation section "4.3.1 - Creating floppies on Unix" but there, after preparing the floppy with fdformat, a filesystem is put onto it with "dd if=floppy37.fs of=/dev/rfd0c bs=32k".
