 No, I've only got "format" in the CMDS directory. And the startup script of 
the software installation I have, uses "format" to format the drive. The little 
documentation I've seen also talks exclusively about format.

 there's no fdisk on my cd or in the ROM. I saw another script that first 
did "iniz /h0". Iniz doesn't return an error, but after that format still 
doesn't work...

 68070 at 15MHz with 5Mb ram. It's a CDI605T, a Philips CD-i authoring player. 
In addition to a normal CD-i player, this has scsi, floppy, more memory, 
parallel, ethernet, extra serial ports and an accesible command shell. I also 
have the DV-board so I can run all the games available for CD-i.
