Hi,
we like to initialize mo-disks with a script.
Problem is that the partition table on a factory new mo is something
undefined (lots of * shown by fdisk).
We like to do a ‘fdisk /dev/mo add -f1 t77 ALL’, but there seems to be
problem with the mentioned garbage on the disk.
How can we zero the partition table from script?
Option -z of fdisk works only in interactive mode 
Any ideas or better running programs are appreciated.

Use dd to write 0x0s through the first block of /dev/hd0.
After that you should be able to fdisk, and don’t forget
to write the loader.
