This is an excellent suggestion that I personally practice as well. The 
Solaris 2.x format command is much more friendly and forgiving than the 
facilities provided in SunOS 4.x. This is especially true if you're 
working with third party disk drives which is increasingly likely do to 
the relative scarceness of many of the disk drives listed in the SunOS 4.x 
format.dat file.
