       This  is  a  convenient  tool  to  generate  a  hard  disk  image,  pre-formatted according to the MS-DOS
       specification, and having stated properties.

       A disk image named file will be created, large enough  to  have  cyl  cylinders,  head  heads,  and  sect
       sectors. Using -M, the value of cyl will instead be interpreted as size in MBytes.

       Additional settings include ZIP type disks, FAT32 formatting, and the inclusion of an emulation header.

-4  Use the fourth partition table entry. This is the standard for ZIP-disks.

       -F  Format the partition using a FAT32 file system.

       -M  The argument cyl is given in Megabytes. Recalculate this to get the count in cylinders.

       -d  Add a DOSEMU header.

       -iid
           Specify the MBR identity field as id.

       -o  Print to stdout the file system offset.

       -z  Use a ZIP-disk geometry. This needs heads=64 and sect=32.
