How does one format a usb floppy? The floppy is on /dev/sda.
How about mkfs -t vfat /dev/sda1

I thought you added the file system after you formated. I am not sure, but I thought first you do a low level format and then partion and then you run mkfs.
No. mkfs is the program that formats the partition. mkfs is equivalent to the windows format program. Just partition and mkfs. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
