I seem to have a problem with fdformat.  Every time it formats and verifies
a track I get an error message that says "biodone: buffer already done".
This is with the Jan. 15 snapshot and a -current kernel from Jan. 17.

Disklabeling it is no problem, but when I newfs the floppy it reports that
there is no MBR on the disk.  However it still works and I can mount and
use the floppy.  Typically what I do is the following:

fdformat fd0.1440
disklabel -w -r /dev/fd0a fd1440
newfs fd0a
mount /dev/fd0a /mnt
