I have successfully seeded completely dead rock with a few cups of sand in my sump. One nice chunk should do it.

Bacteria will find a way into live rock even without seeding somehow
 I don't know is airborne bacteria adapt or how they get in there. Any amount of live sand or rock will speed the process along though.
