If you just want to use the entire drive as one large partition, just
newfs the whole drive:

	newfs /dev/rrzXc

which X is the SCSI id of the new disk.  Note that you make have to make
the device entries in /dev for the disk.  If you, type:

	cd /dev
	./MAKEDEV rzX

again, where X is the SCSI id of the disk.

Anything more fancy will involve playing around with the disklabel
command.  There are some examples of how to use the command in the man
page.
