I've never had to do anything special to a disk when putting it in a Sun
so I'm sure you'll be fine.

I believe the drive is new isn't it.  I'm not sure what the Prom would
make of a a PC style partition table but I'm sure it doesn't have one of
those :)

If you're interested you could probe-scsi from the Prom once the drive was
in (before booting from Cdrom) to see it in place.

The cdrom install will do the rest (up to & including doings an
"installboot" to make the disk bootable).
Cheers,
