Using the User Agent to format floppies does a mkfs on the
floppy so it's `mount'able. As in:
mount /dev/fp021 /mnt
and unmounted by
umount /dev/fp021
When you do a backup or cpio you use the raw device /dev/rfp021.
This creams the superblock and inode table of the floppy
and consequently it must be re-formatted or at least re-mkfs-ed
before it can be mounted again.
