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..
I know you found a workaround with fdisk so you're probably no longer using parted, but I was wondering if you were able to use parted to change the geometry in the partition table to 255heads/63sectors as the boot rom seems to require?
I ask because I'm working on converting our script to python and it'd be nice if I could use python-parted for that, but it doesn't seem to be able to.
Cheers,
