I have the same hardware setup and the same floppy problem. On the Mac
side of A/UX, if I insert a previously-formatted 800K floppy, it works ok.
But if I insert an unformatted floppy I get the single-sided dialog. On
the UNIX side of A/UX, newfs won't work, but I can format and create an
800K file system using diskformat and /etc/fs/ufs/mkfs directly.
