How to zero-fill a block device

How can I zero-fill a block device on QNX 4?

On some other Unix-like systems, I would probably do something like "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdX" but there's no such 
thing as "/dev/zero" on QNX 4.

I have a couple of ideas that are rather ugly. Does anyone know of a straightforward method?
