You mean 3.5" FDD. You have to pass the parameters with the fdformat
command. I think what you need is man mtools, though I may be wrong, I had
checked this a long time ago.
Besides, what do you need to format a floppy with a higher capacity for? I
only needed it to make the discs for mulinux single floppy distro and the
install program does this by itself.
