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.
