I  have a new (obviously) SPARC2, and cannot seem to get FDFORMAT to
format low density floppies.  I have tried all variations of the

   fdformat --- /dev/rfd0

command, and the bottom line is that the routine fails to write a SunOS
label on the disk.  What am I doing wrong ?  Or is this a known bug in
SUNOS4.1.1 ?  Are there any fixes ?  HELP !!
