During the install process, one must create partitions to format then
install onto. Getting to that point is not too slow. Doing it from any
ol' HP box that comes in the door may be the biggest challenge.=20

If you can get one box to run with SCSI connections available for other
drives, boot the working boox with all the drives you want blanked,
fdisk them to one big linux partition, then shutdown. It will require
that you pull the drives, but in batch mode of 6 at a time, it will
likely be faster than 6 boots and partial setups.

Any of that old junk you want to throw my way (Atlanta) would be fun :)
My office already looks like a museum.
