Michael,

I guess the problem is in "superformat".  Mine expect a file .format.  If
not exist, it cannot handle /dev/fdH1722 and falls back to 1.44MB.  Using
the superformat you provided runs smoothly.  I guess may be my
/dev/fdH1722 device is not configure properly.  Do you know why?

Then I found that there are several version of superformat in Linux
machines around me:

In my Linux
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     floppy      26492 Apr 13  1997 /usr/bin/superformat
PC1 around me
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     floppy      26476 Feb 25  1997 /usr/bin/superformat
PC2 around me
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     floppy      48284 Jul 10  1997 /usr/bin/superformat

***

I modified the two lines you provided and it also works with my
superformat:
  superformat -s21 -t83 /dev/fd0  # making a  1743K disk
  dd if=mulinux.img of=/dev/fd0

It works now.
