huh ?

in boot floppies 2.2.4, modified so it would build stuff, the partition the
harddisk option of the menu tries to call cfdisk, which don't support amiga
partitions, at least on powerpc/apus.

Also is it exact that libfdisk is read only on amiga partitions ? If so, how
do you partition stuff on debian/m68k/amiga ?
