Does anybody know how to format a DVD-RAM disc with FAT32 in FC3? If I try
to format the whole disc without partitioning, I get:
$ /sbin/mkdosfs -F 32 -n DVDRAM1 -v -I /dev/hdc
mkdosfs 2.8 (28 Feb 2001)
mkdosfs: unable to get drive geometry for '/dev/hdc'

If I partition the disc, then fdisk -l shows the partition but there's no
/dev entry for it:
$ /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/hdc
Huom: sektorikoko on 2048 (ei 512)

Levy /dev/hdc: 4580 Mt, 4580769792 tavua
255 päätä, 63 sektoria/ura, 139 sylinteriä
Yksiköt = 16065 * 2048 = 32901120 -tavuiset sylinterit
    Laite Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

$ /sbin/mkdosfs -F 32 -n DVDRAM1 -v -I /dev/hdc1
mkdosfs 2.8 (28 Feb 2001)
/dev/hdc1: No such file or directory
