Well, HDX is pretty obsolete and no longer supported. Other format/
partition tools do a better job. It would be possible to do all kinds
of checks to decide whether a partition really contains a FAT fs, but
who cares? It's fairly easy to write all zeroes in sector 0 with dd.

After remounting the rootfs I tried to create entries for fd0c:
mknod fd0c b 2 2
mknod rfd0c c 16 2
newfs -N /dev/rfd0c
=> device not configured
I suppose the minor number was wrong, what is the correct number?
Here's what happens with the CD-ROM:
disklabel /dev/rcd0a
type: SCSI
disk: SCSI CD-ROM
label: fictitious
flags: removable
bytes/sector: 2048
sectors/track: 100
tracks/cylinder: 1
sectors/cylinder: 100
cylinders: 2950
rpm: 300
interleave: 1
...
so far, so good.
1 partitions:
...
a: 1179604 0 ISO9660 (Cyl. 0-11796*)
disklabel: boot block size 0
disklabel: super block size 0
disklabel: partition a: partition extends past end of unit
yep, ~1.6 GB. :-)
mount_cd9660 /dev/cd0a /mnt
=> operation not supported by device
