installing to a wiped disk

[John G Heim]

I have some machines that will PXE boot if the hard disk is not 
bootable. Usually, I make that so by writing zeros to the first million 
blocks. "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda count=1000000".

[Note, I know that a million blocks is way more than necessary.]

-- But that appears to cause a problem for setup-storage. It errors out 
if there is no partition table on the disk. Is there a way to get 
setup-storage to create a partition table?
