freebsd stable - Feb 2004 - This here DVD-RAM thing

I got my LG 4081B today, complete with a 4.7G DVD-RAM medium and I played 
around with it a bit. I can newfs and mount it rw just fine and it's all 
great - except, that UFS is the ONLY filesystem I can manage to get onto it. 
fdisk is a no-go, so is disklabel, so is newfs_msdos, so is mke2fs. It seems 
most utilities just don't like to work on something like acd0a/cd0c and get 
utterly confused. Anybody with sufficent FS-Foo want to fix?

How have you managed to get a UFS filesystem onto it under -STABLE ? I
also have  a DVD-RAM  drive ((and old SCSI one) but I thought that UFS
wasnt supported ? The drive will format as FAT32 under Windows though.
