FORMAT is the DOS command for blanking a disk and initializing the file allocation table for a DOS file system (such as FAT, FAT32, or NTFS). Under FreeBSD, the equivalent command is newfs. You may also wish to consider using sysinstall (FreeBSD only) to serve as a text-mode-GUI front end for formatting and partitioning/slicing hard drives. See also fdisk.
