NAME
format - how to format disks and tapes
DESCRIPTION
Currently, there are no ``native'' BSD media formatting utilities. Formatting of both disks and cartridge tapes must be done either standalone 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.
