This is exactly what I do. Then I do

mkdosfs -F 32 -n Jukebox /dev/sda1

to format the partition and nothing happens out of it. I do not know what
to try now or what to ask for in terms of additional help.

Does the number of cylinders, heads and sectors matter? Is the DOS
compatibility flag supposed to be on or off? Does the partition need to be
flagged as bootable?
