I think fdisk refers to partitions starting from 1, while the PROM
refers to them starting from 0. so partition(8) == /dev/sda9
I had an interesting problem on this note when I was installing debian
on my indy yesterday; the volume header partition was too small (2Mb) to
install the kernel, so I had to remove all the partitions and make it
bigger; problem was after I remove the partitions (including 9 and 11),
fdisk thought my hard disk was about 6 Mb. I ended up running:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda
then running fdisk in expert mode to create new SGI disklabels etc and
it worked fine.
