Have you tried specifying /dev/fd0H1840 as the floppy device rather than
/dev/fd0? For more info you may want to read the manual page:
$ man fd

superformat will give you about 1.72 MB.  Don't know if it's included 
with the kernel but you can definitely download it somewhere (plus a 
version for DOS/Windows, too).
