For SCSI, this is fairly easy to deal with. For HP-IB, it's a little
harder.
If anyone out there has information on exactly _how_ mediainit(1m)
formats HP-IB disks (i.e. does it do it "manually", does it issue an
equivalent to SCSI's FORMAT UNIT, etc.), I could certainly act as a
clearing house for the info, and help someone implement the Right Thing
under NetBSD...
