Hi Don,

  you must assign a result to your replacement. 

init[n_Integer]:=Module[
                    {s=Table[Random[Integer],{n n}]},
                     s=s/.{0->-1};
                     Partition[s,n]
                     ]
will work.

The second works because the return value of a Module[] is
the last evaluated expression.

Hope that helps
  Jens
