.sp
.nf
.RS
/dev/fd0d360  (minor = 4)
/dev/fd0h1200 (minor = 8)

/dev/fd0H360  (minor = 12)
/dev/fd0D720  (minor = 16)
/dev/fd0H720  (minor = 16)

The generic floppy devices, /dev/fd0 and /dev/fd1, will fail to work with
.B fdformat
when a non-standard format is being used, or if the format has not been
autodetected earlier.  In this case, use
.BR setfdprm (8)
to load the disk parameters.

.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-n
No verify.  This option will disable the verification that is performed
after the format.
