Use a special device for that format you want. I'd suggest first trying

# fdformat /dev/fd0h1660

see what happens. Back in the old days and I think that's still true, 
you'd use the special form of /dev/fd0 (for instance /dev/fd0h1440) when
formatting only. 

As I recall, uppercase "H" was for 5.25" and lowercase 'h' for 3.5".

I don't know offhand what the 'u' is. Maybe 'unformatted' but that
doesn't make sense.
