For what? On which machine? If you want to create a new boot floppy
(ext2 probably), just use a normal PC partition, or a loop filesystem,
or whatever. You don't need a special "Atari like partition".

I think at the time the 1.4MB root was created, no atari-fdisk yet
existed. But on the Debian root disk, there should be
/sbin/atari-fdisk and /sbin/fdisk as a symlink to it. You can also get
it from the package 'atari-fdisk' (for m68k) or 'atari-fdisk-cross'
(for i386).

It shouldn't. The partition table parser should be able to read all
kinds of partition tables.
