How do I create a filesystem on a floppy?

First format the floppy with an exhaustive verify, as this is the only sure fire way to root out bad sectors. Then use the 'mkfs' command:

      mkfs -F vxfs /dev/fd0 2880

which will create a vxfs filesystem on the first floppy drive with a size of 2880 512-byte blocks (1.44 MB).
