Description Karel Zak 2005-09-30 13:01:20 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #155559 +++

Description of problem:

"fdformat /dev/fd0" works
"floppy -f /dev/fd0" fails

The floppy util doesn't work with generic device (/dev/fd0) and it always 
requires size specific device (/dev/fd0H1440) athough the generic device
supports requested format.
