Of course, like you would format on a 1541 with the original routines:

        cbmctrl pcommand 8 n0:name,id

or

        cbmctrl command 8 N0:NAME,ID

I assume the 2031 is drive #8, otherwise, replace the #8 with the number
your drive has.

Unfortunately, cbmformat and cbmforng will most probably not work, as
they do not know about the IEEE routines. I am not sure, though; thus,
if the above commands work, you might also want to try cbmformat and
cbmforng and report the results.

Regards,
Spiro.
