I answered my own question.  I restarted the computer in OS 9.2.2.  I 
have a copy of "Hard Disk Speed Tools" that I was going to use to 
format the drive.  However, when the system booted, OS 9.2.2 detected 
the drive and offered to initialize it for me.  So, after that, I 
restarted in OS X and was able to use the Disk Utility to erase and 
partition the drive.
