How do I format a Mac so that I can reinstall the OS, and start from scratch on it?

boot from the OS install cd (or floppy).
With the disk in the drive, restart and hold
down the 'C' key (for CD's.
delete-option-cmd-shift for floppies).
Then run DRIVE SETUP and re-initialize
the drive. Then install said OS.
