To format a floppy for use with bsd (so that it doesn't have the msdos FS anymore)

follow these easy steps:
(1)
format the disk using the command "fdformat /dev/rfd0"

(2)
use disklabel to label it like so: "disklabel -w -r /dev/rfd0 fd1440"

(3)
And actually add a filesystem to it with: "newfs /dev/rfd0"
