VXVM: Creating rootdg w/o going through vxinstall

Why would you need to do this? Fairly short number of reasons, I expect. I had to do it because we were using *very* small disks (like 4 megs) for rootdg and the vxinstall was crapping out in the vxdisksetup. Fortunately, this is a requirement for vxvm ver 3.5 only, so chances of needing it much longer are remote
- vxconfigd -m disable
- vxdctl init
- vxdg init rootdg
- vxdctl enable
- xdisksetup -i ${pv} privlen=1024
- vxdg -g rootdg adddisk ${pv}=${pv}
- rm /etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d/install-db # enables vxvm to come up on the next boot (line 61 of vxvm-start)
