The problem is the message. If your /etc/mtools file has the entry
A /dev/fd0 12 0 0 0
this makes mtools use whatever values it can figure out, which is usually
the most convenient thing to do. I usually add to my /etc/mtools a line
like this:
G /dev/fd0H1440 12 80 2 18
H /dev/fd1h1200 12 80 2 15
which allows me to 'mformat g:' or 'mformat h:' without any messing about
at the time.
