Problems using mke2fs on DOC-2000 (288MB)

I am not able to format my DOC using mke2fs.
This is the output of dmesg.

This seems ok it tells me that it founds a 288MB DOC
Also it finds a partition.

[root at pscA /root]# fdisk /dev/nftla

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/nftla: 16 heads, 36 sectors, 1003 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 576 * 512 bytes

     Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/nftla1             1      1003    288846   83  Linux


cat /proc/mtd
dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 12000000 00004000 "DiskOnChip 2000"

This all looks fine.

When I try to format the partition
[root at pscA /root]# mke2fs /dev/nftla1

I receive the following messages.
I am using 2419pre8 also tried with the latest cvs code, but still the same
problem. Do I need to do a DFORMAT?

Thanks for reading sofar.
