Formating a floppy in OpenBSD



Can anyone tell me how to format and install a 4.6BSD file-system in OpenBSD 
for a floppy?

I have been able to format the floppy using fdformat but I though after that 
I need to mkfs or newfs the diskette. But newfs give an error of "/dev/fd0a 
not a character-special device".

Is fddformat all that is needed? I tried to mount the floppy after 
formatting but got "Innapropriate file type or format".
