Yes.

> Can anyone assist me with the proper commands?

First you need to put fd0u1722 into /dev
You can do this with mknod:
------------------------------
mknod /dev/fd0u1722 b 2 60
------------------------------

Then insert good floppy (must be error-free):
----------------------
fdformat /dev/fd0u1722
----------------------

If you want a filesystem on the floppy:
---------------------
mke2fs /dev/fd0u1722
---------------------

Cheers,
Steven
