Stephen,
With the 2.40.20 kernel, nftl_format is not required if you use the earlier
version of the DiskOnChip DFORMAT utility (version 4.2). This is still
available at m-sys.com.
By default, dformat creates a fat12 partition that should be recognized under
Linux.
Either way, if the nftl device is recognized, you should be able to run fdisk
and format as fat12, ext2, etc.
