(fwd) Doesn't FreeBSD have support for DOS-style partition tables in its fdisk program? If so, you could define a DOS partition using fdisk and then use mkdosfs (if FreeBSD has this program, I don't remember). As for how to do it with mformat, I'd suggest you go ahead and experiment with it, unless you already have important data on a different partition on the Jaz disk.

Hi, I'm running FreeBSD with mtools 3.0. My question is, in which way I've to calculate the number of tracks by a mformat. The actual problem is to mformat a jaz disk. It has 1021 cyl, 64 heads and 32 sectors. Please could you say me, what will be the right value for the tracks option by mformat. I've make a partition on the disk wich starts at sector 32. Thank you for help by Ralf
