That's a crock. A standard single sided floppy is 1MB, unformatted.
I used to format 920K all the time on my STe. Some disks couldn't 
reliably hold it, but I could format it.

Take a look at the fd* entries in 
<kernel_source>/Documentation/devices.txt for several formats.

They use different numbers of sectors and track than the default thay 
gives 720K/1440K formats.
