FreeBSDwiki:Format new msdos drive

To create and format a new FAT32 drive do the following:

Go into sysinstall

select fdisk

use type 11 (fat32)

exit sysinstall

# newfs_msdos /dev/da0

Note when I went to do this on a IDE drive on ad1 I had to do

# newfs_msdos /dev/ad1s1

Now you should be able to mount it as msdos.
