^^^^^^^^^^^
I don't think this is what you want.
If you've done dasdfmt and fdasd already on /dev/dasda, your next step is to
make a filesystem on the partition /dev/dasda1. If you have not yet run
dasdfmt, you mean to format the drive (/dev/dasda) not the partition.
# dasdfmt -f /dev/dasda -b 4096
# fdasd -a /dev/dasda
# mke2fs -j /dev/dasda1
The first formats the device (CDL is the default nowadays, no need to specify
it), the second creates a single partition that uses all space on the device,
the third creates an ext3 filesystem on the partition (if you want a different
filesystem type, substitute the appropriate command).
