Hello, guys!
Thanks for the help you gave me. 'MAKEDEV fd0' did the trick - I can
format floppy as root. But when I'm trying it as usual user I have:
$ floppy --ext2 --format A:
floppy 0.16 Copyright 2001-2006, Double Precision, Inc.

/dev/fd0H1440: Lupa evätty
No formattable capacities for /dev/fd0

'Lupa evätty' means 'Permission denied'
Do you, Floppy GuRus, have a solution to that also?
