Subject:   Creating a FAT32 on new drive...

hello family,

I have some drives that I've brought home for repair.

I have a Promise IDE controller installed with dual ports and two
36" IDE ribbons attached to the Promise controller and snaking out
an open CDROM slot, along with a powersupply leads.

My FreeBSD box boots fine, the Promise card shows up and my first
drive came up as /dev/ad5.

I used "sysinstall" to delete the old partitions and now need to
simple create one big "FAT32" partition/drive and see if things
work when this drive is placed back into a machine at work.

I saw no options for FAT32 in the "sysinstall" menus of fdisk and
was wondering if I can whip this drive into shape via command
line.  Thanks.
