    f\bfo\bor\brm\bma\bat\bt - how to format disks and tapes

D\bDE\bES\bSC\bCR\bRI\bIP\bPT\bTI\bIO\bON\bN
    Currently, there are no ``native'' BSD media formatting utilities.  For-
    matting of both disks and cartridge tapes must be done either standalone
    or under HP-UX using the _\bm_\be_\bd_\bi_\ba_\bi_\bn_\bi_\bt utility distributed by HP. Note that
    HP-brand cartridge tapes come pre-formatted, and HP disks are supposed
    to.

    The f\bfo\bor\brm\bma\bat\bt utility first appeared in 4.4BSD.
