Hi all,

I was grepping through the archives tonight and found from:

  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1884403+1887301+/usr/local/www/db/text/1999/freebsd-questions/19990614.freebsd-questions

that fdformat + mkdosfs would format a floppy and put a DOS filesystem on
it. That's what I was looking for! However, I cannot seem to find the
binary or the source for mkdosfs (or a port).

On my 2.2.8-STABLE machine it is /usr/sbin/mkdosfs and the source is in the
appropriate place within the tree.

I copied over the binary from this machine to my 3.2-STABLE machine and it
seems to work without a hitch. So, the question: where did "mkdosfs" go?

Has this been replaced by some other mechanism for formatting (DOS) 
floppies?

Thanks,

-Jr
