Floppy Drive

I'm interested in getting the 3.5 drive to work, but there is little
documentation on how i should prepare a disk to use and which device
it is.  From one of the manual entries (fmtflpy i think it was) it
mentioned /dev/dsk/c6d0s0 or some such name.  i coudlnt find that
command either curiously.  The fstab doesnt mention it (it wouldnt be
a bad idea to put it in commented out).

Oh, one other little thing, is it possible to get a kernal source code
license or a kernal patched for some of the handier network utilities
such as traceroute ?  Assuming that the unix provided is standard SysV
R4, it is interesting that they didnt patch the kernal at AT&T for this
rather useful command.
