There shouldn't be any reason why you can't hook the disk up to some 
other box and run the `makedisk' program that comes with the 1.0 
distribution.  The source is available with the binary.

Note that you must hook it up to a system that will default to `c 
partition is whole disk' if there is no disklabel present.  Fortunately, 
HP-UX, since it doesn't support disklabels (or partitions, really, for 
that matter) has no problem with this.  NetBSD/hp300 will also do this; 
it doesn't use the MI SCSI code (yet).

Looking at sdgetdisklabel() in /sys/scsi/sd.c leads me to believe that 
the MI SCSI code has this behavior, but I've not tried it, so your 
mileage may vary.
