use /dev/zero
There is a device file on most systems called /dev/zero. It is exactly what it seems a file of zeros! If it is not there you should be able to create it.
If you write this file to the Harddrive it should do the trick. And I would do it seven times for completeness!!
I don't know if this is supported on all systems...
EDIT HERE::
I would put your OS on the small original disk and keep all other filesystems and data on the other large disk. This way if your OS dies you can just replace that one disk and reinstall without losing data.

wscons
WSCONS(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual WSCONS(9)
NAME
wscons -- machine-independent console support
DESCRIPTION
The wscons driver provides a machine-independent framework for workstation consoles. It consists of several cooperating modules:
o display adapters (see wsdisplay(9))
o keyboards (see wskbd(9))
o pointers and mice (see wsmouse(9))
o input event multiplexor
o font handling (see wsfont(9))
o terminal emulation (see wsdisplay(9))
The wscons framework replaces the old rcons workstation framework and the various machine-dependent console implementations.
CODE REFERENCES
The wscons subsystem is implemented within the directory sys/dev/wscons.
