e361857343 Change the reference to format(8) (which we don't have) to fdformat(1) and
scsiformat(8) (which we do have).  Closes PR# 663.

55abc5794a Change the defaults for newfs to disregard the geometry in the disklabel.
We pretend we have one head with two megabyte worth of sectors per cylinder.

The code try to access another head in what it belives to the same
physical cylinder, because it belives that it would be faster than
waiting for the next free sector under this head to come around.

Most modern drives doesn't have a "classical" geometry, and thus
we end up fooling ourselves doing the above optimization.  With this
change we will fill a cylinder sequentially if we can, and thus get
much more mileage from the track-buffer/cache built into the drives.

As a result a lot of seeks to the next or previous track should be
avoided by this.

(My disk is a lot less noisy actually...)

You can still get the old behaviour, by specifying zero for the
numbers.

This will also solve the problem with newfs barfing at really big
drives.

Obtained from:	adult advice from Kirk.

72ab19aeb7 Added '-F file' option of mount_mfs. This allows me to make floppy images
without waiting for my floppy-drive all the time :-)  Might have other
interesting uses too.

3156bbb2d1 Backed out part of the last change that prevents the rpos table from
being output if <= 1 rpos; there is a bug in the kernel which doesn't
quite get along with this. Changed default #rpos to 1, and fixed up
manual page. Converted nrpos to 1 if user specifies 0.
