When I set up RAD: under FFS (but not under SFS), I seemed to have to format
it before using it even though it was a single filesystem, contrary to your
remark above.  I discovered that if you let format take its input from nil:
(format <nil:) it happily accepts the EOF as a sign to continue, so its not
really necessary to hit ENTER.
