What kind of disk do you want to format? A floppy? NetBSD/Mac68k doesn't
yet have floppy support. :(
If you want to format a SCSI disk, well, you could always write a simple
program to send the appropriate SCSI command (singular!) to the drive.
Something along the lines of sdremap.c (which was posted to this list
aeons ago) could serve as a model. If you can't find sdremap.c, let me
know and I'll ship you a coppy.
