Just a word of caution - only do this is you want to wipe out the
partition table, as well as clear the mbr. I think using bs=492 will
clear the mbr wile leaving the partition table. (I could have the
number wrong.) This is handy if you need to preserve smaller
partition sizes when you do a restore.
