That's an interesting question. I found a way around it and never got
around to asking for the right method. :)
I used "fdformat /dev/at0".
I've got a question. Will we always have at0, or will that eventually
be dropped in favor of autodetecting with fd0? Just wondering so I don't
get accustomed to using a device that has a limited life span.
