Thanks for the reply. I actually was able to use MAKEDEV after running mke2fs on the floppy and mounting it default 1 1 in fstab. I was getting an "Operation not permitted" before I remembered the fstab options :-)
But, now I have a boot disk I can use to wipe sensitive data from a hard drive when we need to return a disk due to warranty, etc....
