Done that.

Whenever I'm trying the command above I have:
floppy --ext2 --format A:
floppy 0.16 Copyright 2001-2006, Double Precision, Inc.
/dev/fd0H1440: Tiedostoa tai hakemistoa ei ole
No formattable capacities for /dev/fd0
The penult line means 'The file or directory not found'.
What's wrong with it?
Dumb question 1 - does it help if you run "modprobe floppy" as root
before trying to format a floppy?
Dumb question 2 - did you make sure you had a disk drive in the drive?
Dumb question 3 - Does the floppy drive work for anything else?
You can also play with fdformat /dev/fd0u1440 (I am not sure where
you got /dev/fd0H1440.)
