>Description:
"newfs_msdos" creates a faulty disk images.
>How-To-Repeat:
1.) Use "newfs_msdos /dev/rfd0a" or "newfs_msdos -L FOOBAR /dev/rfd0a" to
create a filesystem on a 1.44MB 3.5" floppy.
2.) Boot Windows 98 and check the disk with "scandisk". It will complain
about a broken directory structure and remove the disk label if you
ask it to repair the disk.
>Fix:
None given.
