I am setting up tripwire, and need secure storage of the dump tables - I
chose floppy disk.

However, after running these commands:

disklabel -w -r fd0 floppy tripwire
newfs fd0

and mounting the drive, I only see 855 1-K blocks on the device!  No bad
sectors on these disks, I assume it has to do with the Warning message I
get from 'newfs': Warning: 1216 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated

Any method to formatting and putting a new file system on and getting even
close to the 1.44k on these floppy filesystems?

Andy
