Description Matt Wilson 1998-11-10 13:23:58 EST 
# mformat a:
mformat: Non-removable media is not supported (You must tell
the complete geometry of the disk, either in /etc/mtools or
on the command line)
Comment 1 seva 1998-11-19 09:14:59 EST 
Fix:

Change /etc/mtools.conf to be:

# Linux floppy drives
drive a: file="/dev/fd0" exclusive 1.44m
drive b: file="/dev/fd1" exclusive 1.44m

Instead of:

# Linux floppy drives
drive a: file="/dev/fd0" exclusive
drive b: file="/dev/fd1" exclusive

As described in mtools(1)3 man page.
