Formatting a floppy drive

[Verghese George]

Hi,
I tried a simple command of formatting a floppy drive 
#fdformat /dev/fd0

It comes up with an output 

Errors encountered:

cyl Head Sect Error
0     0       1   no address mark in ID field
0     1       1   no address mark in ID field
1     0       1    no address mark in ID field
1     1       1   no address mark in ID field

etc  

I tried the command
fdformat /dev/fd0.1440 
and fdformat -f 1440 /dev/fdo
but the result is the same.
Am  I doing something wrong?

I am using freebsd 5.1. I had no such problems when I was using version
4.8
