nftl_format

[Chris Ellec <cellec@celerity.net>]

I got an older Diskonchip with NFTL all messed up after trying to 
install Grub on it, so I had to nftl_format it.

First I had to make the changes below to get nftldump and nftl_format to 
compile again.

When I ran nftl_format, it took about 20 minutes for a 96MB DOC, is that 
normal ?

The nftl_format worked and the DOC is now back to its original state.

Please note that the following breaks the compilation of the kernel, so 
you can only do it to compile  nftl_format then you have to change it 
back if you need to recompile bzImage.
