Ever booted a live-CD? It also knows your disks (unless it's a server, except for maybe the CentOS LiveCD, most other's suck on servers - they simply don't recognize the controllers).
The question was not about the LiveCD, but more about the use of dd. So, blanking a disk (say, /dev/hdc) from a LiveCD would amount to:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdc bs=20M
And that's it. Correct?
Yes. I generally don't use a 20M block size, but it is what I've used.
