Bug#29153: cfdisk reported to not work on 'factory clean', unpartitioned drives



Package: util-linux

There are reports that cfdisk indeed does not do well on drives with
no partition table yet created at all.  This is different from just
having no partitions.  Although I'm not sure off the bat how to
create this condition (I think you can use 'fmthard' in solaris).

I've added documentation to the boot floppies warning about this,
however, I thought I'd bring this to your attention.  See also
bug#29153 against boot-floppies.
