This may be unrelated to the disk or partitioning.  Do you have any oddball
hardware?  Did you consider bad RAM?  Anything odd attached to the 1394 or
USB jacks?

They generally come with one large volume.  However, the apple formatting
utility (drive setup in OS9; disk utility in OSX) does create a few smaller
Boot partitions (I don=B9t recall the specifics).  But never mind, those
partitions are transparent to you.  Just wipe it into one big volume.  Its
also Ok to have several volumes - e.g.: X, 9/classic, etc.  Classic need no=
t
be on the same volume as X.
