[Casper] Erase new HD prior to imaging

[Leacy, Miles]

What¹s in your config?  What HD format are the machines coming out of the
box with?
Don¹t assume Apple is correct, they often ship internal drives with odd
configurations.

If you are getting odd drive formats from the factory, you may want to use a
diskutil partitionDisk script as a ³before² item in your autorun
data/prestage to make sure you¹re getting what you expect before you start
an image.
