That's because the fd formatter program is called fddisk, strangely enough.
On my 4.2a system, at least, DEC was kind enough to include the manpage,
but did *not* bother to rebuild the "whatis" database so apropos(1) could
_find_ it!   This caused me some confusion when I did an  apropos disk.

Anyway,  man fddisk  will tell you what you need to know.
