[X-Unix] Disk Formatting

[Juan Manuel Palacios]

	There's always pdisk(1) to manipulate Apple partition maps, but I 
don't know if it'll get you what you want with respect to the surace 
scanning, pretty sure it'll let you reformat the hard disk and create a 
custom setup. The man page is also in place so you can look into it. 
Hope that helps,...
