Do you have a dev file like /dev/fd0H1440? or /dev/fd0u1440?
I have no.
$ ls /dev | grep fd
fd
fd0
floppy-fd0
My CentOS box has /dev/fd0 and /dev/fd0H1440. So I can
do "fdformat -n /dev/fd0u1440".
My F11 box has only /dev/fd0.
I was going to suggest setfdprm so you set the floppy capacity
yourself, but it looks like it's no longer available after FC6.
But you can compile the utility yourself.

No, thanks. I'm too nervous to compile programs from source. I'll wait
until floppies resurrection. Just wanted to update motherboard' BIOS.
Gygibite provide only exe file. Pity it is : -(
I was trying to do some 'homework' like this one:

you've got a bit of homework to do.
