Yes, you can. Try this:
camcontrol cmd -v -n da -u 2 -t 3600 -c "4 0 0 0 0 0"
"-v" tells camcontrol to print sense information if the command fails
"-n" specifies the device name
"-u" specifies the unit number (i.e., da2)
"-t" specifies the timeout for the command in seconds. If you suspect your
disk will need more than an hour, increase it.
"-c" specifies the SCSI CDB
I plan on adding a 'camcontrol format' command, but haven't gotten around
to it yet. The above command should give you more or less the
functionality of scsiformat, but without the seatbelt.
