Hard drive sectors are 512 bytes so use a bs of 512 and skip FF68
blocks. I'm not sure if dd will accept hex numbers, try prefixing it
with a 0x ( the C convention for hex numbers ). Otherwise, convert the
hex number to decimal.

How does one convert from LBA to skip, blocksize, and count?
IE I want to write zero's over LBA 00FF68 through 00FF6F on a raw device
/dev/sda /dev/rhdisk4, /drv/C0T0D0S1, etc..
As an example under AIX I would like to use:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rhdisk4 skip=AAAA blocksize=BBBB count=CCCC
Where can I obtain the info to calculate AAAA, BBBB and CCCC? Whatever
platform you can show me how to do the math on I can probably figure out
how to do this on AIX, Linux, Solaris, etc..
