.SH NAME
format \- how to format disks and tapes
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Currently, there are no ``native'' BSD media formatting utilities.
Formatting of both disks and cartridge tapes must be done either
standalone or under HP-UX using the
.I mediainit
utility distributed by HP.
Note that HP-brand cartridge tapes come pre-formatted, and HP disks
are supposed to.
