Don't we just like success 
as you know I've been trying to format that 10GB Seagate with various tools and now by chance I find Hard DiskTools 2.0.5 by FWB Software lurking on an old drive and as if by magic... it formats the drive!! It does the 2GB limit, so it formats the drive automatically into 8 x 2GB and whatever is left is the 5th partition, neat.
I did this using OS7.0.1 in a IIfx - I used the termy and power on the HD and it all worked (scsi 0 was an Apple 40MB Quantum). Checkout that software. Nice.
Ahh.. I have just seen this:
"System Requirements
Unlike earlier versions of HDT, version 2.x removes support for 68000 Macs such as the Mac Plus and SE. Any Mac beginning with the Mac II and later is supported. System 7.0.1 or later and 3 MB of free RAM is required."
