— how to
format disks and tapes
Currently, there are no “native” NetBSD media formatting utilities. Formatting of both disks and cartridge tapes must be done either stand-alone or under HP-UX using the mediainit utility distributed by HP. Note that HP-brand cartridge tapes come pre-formatted, and HP disks are supposed to.
The format
utility first appeared in
4.4BSD.
