Bad disk. Probably wrong format? It couldn't find the address mark
of the ID field of the very first sector. If it's a 720 KB floppy,
used /dev/fd0.720. Btw., ``/dev/fd0c'' is the wrong approach for
floppies, there's nothing like the partition scheme as on a hard disk.
Use ``/dev/fd0'' as a synonym for the `standard' capacity (1440 KB for
3.5in, 1200 KB for 5.25in), or use ``/dev/fd0.<capacity>''.
