.SH NAME
mkdfs \- Initialize an MSDOS disk.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B mkdfs
[
.B -h
]
[
.B -f
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Mkdfs
Mkdfs formats and initializes a DOS file system on a 3.5 inch Sun 4/60 or
3/80 internal floppy.  It first calls the standard Sun format utility and 
then lays out an empty filesystem.
.PP
.I Mkdfs
accepts the following options:
.TP
.B h
High density switch.
Since 720K disks are far more common in the DOS world,  the lower
density is the default,  use this option for the high density 1.44MB disks.
.TP
.B f
First reformat the drive,  useful for new or abused drives.  (Using the drive
in a Mac counts in the last category)
.SH SEE ALSO
