doslabel -- Command

Label an MS-DOS floppy disk
doslabel [-v] device: label

doslabel puts  label onto an MS-DOS floppy disk.   device names the floppy-
disk drive that  holds the disk to be labelled,  such as /dev/fha0. See the
Lexicon entry floppy disks for a table of the COHERENT floppy-disk devices.
You can also  build a file of aliases so  that you can access the drives as
a, b,  etc.  For details, see  the Lexicon entry for  doscp, which explains
how to set up defaults for the dos family of commands.

The option -v, tells  doslabel to provide additional information about each
action it performs.

Example

The following command labels an  MS-DOS floppy disk with the string mydisk.
It assumes that you have defined  a as a default for a device that holds an
MS-DOS file system:

    doslabel a: mydisk
