Nerd talk (was: Re: Replacing fdisk by cfdisk?)
Why bother with emacs, simply boot the rescue disc
(you'll have to add stty on it), switch to tty2 and do a:
# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 826 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System
# # don't input the line break the mailer did to the input line below
# stty raw
# dd > /dev/hda seek=446 bs=1 count=64

To make logical partitions is left as an exercise for the reader.
