Thats exactly what he did, and it died.
A POSSIBILITY, assuming that the other stuff is right (and beware -
I have a feeling that needs to be looked at first!) is to
simply say 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdc count=1' and that will intialize
number zero to zero.
But I'd not said that till someone else spoke up saying that the
hardware setup looks good...
oops, now I've said it! :-)
