Guys, just a heads up for util-linux-ng 2.18, (I've been tweaking my
script for Fedora 14/15 usage..)

It looks like 'fdisk' can no longer create the new partition at sector
1, (thru forcing dos compatibly mode, i can get it down to sector 62,
however that isn't bootable on my Bx/Cx beagles)..  I know you use
sfdisk, but you might run into the same issue since it's from the same
project..

I'm looking into using parted from the command line, and so far it
seems to be working on maverick just have to confirm on fedora..

Regards,
