Making a minix filesystem

Hey!
I'm having some problems making a minix fs on my floppy disk.
I added support for minix in the kernel (as a module).

Loaded it with

# modprobe minix

After that i formatted the floppy

# fdformat /dev/floppy/0

# mkfs -t minix /dev/floppy/0

mkfs.minix: No such file or directory

What am I doing wrong?

what does "locate mkfs.minix" tell you?

mkfs is just a frontend program for other programs that build filesystems. . .

read "man mkfs" or "man mkfs.minix" for information. . .
