actually, what are we really needing?  Most disk drives are already shipped
with some software that will put the basic scsi driver and partitions on a
drive.

Writing a little program to muck with partitions (creating, deleting) would
be rather easy to do.  The difficult parts of a writing a "formatter" would
be actually doing a low level scsi format, and the generic scsi driver needed
for the disk (although there is a driver in the rom, i dont know what the
on disk driver is used for)
