All that i've heard of setpatch is that it is essential (so far anyway).
I use the standard startup-sequence w/setpatch and have had no troubles with
formatting ffs floppies.  You might want to check to make sure you used the
correct format specs.
    
     sys:system/format drive ff1:: name "ffs floppy" noicons ffs



I included the whole thing just to make sure I didn't do anything wrong.
My ffs disks work without a glitch and i'm durn happy!
