I first want to format a floppy at 1.7MB with:
user@host:~/tmp$ emifloppy -f /dev/fd0u1722
formatting /dev/fd0u1722 ...
Double-sided, 82 tracks, 21 sec/track. Total capacity 1722 kB.
Formatting ... done
Now, I want to create a fat filesystem and assign it the name "myfloppy" with:
user@host:~/tmp$ emifloppy -d myfloppy /dev/fd0u1722
making dosfs on /dev/fd0u1722 ...
mkdosfs 2.10 (22 Sep 2003)
/dev/fd0u1722 has 2 heads and 21 sectors per track,
logical sector size is 512,
using 0xf0 media descriptor, with 3444 sectors;
file system has 2 12-bit FATs and 1 sector per cluster.
FAT size is 10 sectors, and provides 3409 clusters.
Root directory contains 224 slots.
Volume ID is 3fba81cc, volume label myfloppy .
And here the result:
user@host:~/tmp$ mdir
Volume in drive A is myfloppy
Volume Serial Number is 3FBA-81CC
Directory for A:/
No files
1 745 408 bytes free
Since version 1.3-1, it's possible to combine the switches.
To format, create dos filesystem and make it bootable, execute:
user@host:~/tmp$ emifloppy -fb -d mydisk /dev/fd0

Double-sided, 80 tracks, 18 sec/track. Total capacity 1440 kB.
