I have a usb flash drive that I wish to reformat as an MS-DOS (FAT) file 
system.  How do I do that on OpenBSD?

I want the drive to be formatted in the same manner that a Windows machine 
or Macintosh might format an MS-DOS file system.  So clearly, I don't want 
to use disklabel, since OpenBSD disklabels are only intended to be read by 
OpenBSD.  I know that fsck_msdos can repair MS-DOS file systems, but I 
want to create an MS-DOS file system (or possibly overwrite an existing 
MS-DOS file system), rather than repair one.  What about fdisk?  The 
default MBR template for fdisk is again doing something very 
OpenBSD-specific, but maybe I could use some other template instead?
