    I am just wandering, since I haven't read the manual, but is it possible
to format a floppy with HPFS on it ?  I have tried

    FORMAT A:/FS:HPFS

    But it says 

    SYS0530 : You must specify the fixed disk drive

    So, I am wandering if it is possible.  If it is not, why don't IBM
let us have it.  If we can format a floppy with UNIX (on the NeXT), why can't
we do it with OS/2 HPFS.
