Force initialization of drive?

Howdy, all!

When my kickstart installer encounters a brand-spanking-new drive (no
Windoze or Linux pre-installed), I get the following message:

  "The partition table on device sda was unreadable.  To create new
partitions it must be initialized, causing the loss of ALL DATA on this
drive.  

  Would you like to initialize this drive?

                     YES           NO"

Works fine (totally hands-off) as long as there are pre-existing partitions
on the disk.

While this isn't a show-stopper, it requires manual intervention.  I'd like
some way to force the initialization of the drive.  Any ideas?
