Rename external HD

[Bob Cortez]

I did read that section.  In fact I read it before I posted to the
list.  No where in that section does in indicate how to apply the
mkdosfs command to an external drive.  If you could be so kind as to
provide me with the method to apply this information to my particular
circumstance I would be very appreciative.
