You can also specify device1:monlib-filename as the device and filename to be used, as follows:
format device1: [device1: [monlib-filename]]
If monlib-filename is omitted, the system formats device1: using the built-in monlib file on the device.
Note When the system cannot find a monlib file, the system terminates the formatting process.

ID is displayed using the show flash m/device: filesys command.
