I have a remote machine with KVM access that I'd like to format and
reinstall FreeBSD 7.0. I've succeded in formatting /dev/ad6 but not the main
drive, /dev/ad4.
Is it possbile to zero-fill format during the installation instead of simply
deleting and recreating partitions?
I've tried booting

Thanks Jeremy, that worked fine.
I STRONGLY recommend you add bs=64k to that dd statement, or else it's
going to take a million years. :-)
That's a good tip,
