Is it possible to run fdisk from a script and setup a virgin disk?
Does anyone have any working examples to copy?  The manpage is less
than clear.

I'd like to wipe a disk with 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rwd1d bs=64k"
and rebuild a bootable netbsd/i386 disk from scratch.

        to=wd1
        dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/r${to}d bs=64k count=128
        fdisk -0 -s 169 /dev/${to}

The above seems to do nothing...

The goal of this is to do automated backups by making a fully-bootable
and runnable snapshot from cron.  The price of tape drives and tapes
is insane, while disks are getting cheaper all the time.
