Alias for fdformat

[Alex Radsky <radsky ncia net>]

I'd like to make an alias for formatting a floppy disk for Linux as in
this example:

           alias fdlin="fdformat /dev/fd0H1440; mke2fs -c -v -L
"diskname" /dev/fd0"

The Linux format alias works if the 'diskname' is removed from between
the "   " and the floppy can be used for Linux loads...  it just has no
name.

The problem is I don't know how to make the alias pause for entering the
"diskname".  Is there some way to enter the "diskname" either before,
during, or after running the alias?   I'd prefer to have the name
entered through the alias, in other words, call the fdlin alias and
enter the "diskname"
