Thank you. That works fine. Now I just need to figure out why I can't eject the
disk...
$ eject -f /dev/fd0
eject: unable to find or open device for: `/dev/fd0'
This is with kernel 2.2.17-pre6, compiled from the debian package. I did get
the same error after superformat caused an oops, but this is a clean boot this
morning, and I haven't tried superformat today.
