I trying a silent install of Tru64 4.0f, and I need to have a diskette which requires Unix File System (UFS), so that I may put preinstall, install.cdf and postload files onto it.
I have tried the following

$> disklabel -wr /dev/rfd0c
disklabel: ioctl DIOCSDINFO: Open partition would move or shrink. Use alternate partition.


Okay tried to zero the diskette
$> disklabel -z /dev/rfd0c
Disk is unlabeled or, /dev/rfd0c is not block 0 of the disk


$> newfs /dev/fd0c
Error: the disklabel for /dev/rfd0c does not exist or is corrupted
Quitting...


Finally tried mounting the floppy disk already knowing what the outcome would be.
$> mount /dev/fd0c /mnt
/dev/fd0c on /mnt : No valid filesystem exists on this partition.


Have I overlooked something or am I just be plain stupid?
Any help much appreciated.
 
Sorry all, have found the reason

$> disklabel -rw /dev/rfd0c rx23

needed to specify rx23 for the type
