Formatting and labelling diskettes
To format and label the diskettes on your UnixWare machine, do the following:
-
To format and label a diskette, place a blank diskette in a diskette drive
and enter:
dosformat -v devicename
where devicename is the device special file name (such as
/dev/rdsk/f03ht) for the appropriate disk drive and disk density
(see the dosformat command, as documented on the
dos(1)
manual page).
-
When the diskette is formatted, you will be prompted to enter a label for
the diskette. Enter ``DISK1'' and ``DISK2'' respectively.
-
Put a paper label on each diskette, and write ``NLM Disk 1'' and
``NLM Disk 2'' on the appropriate diskettes.
