A version of fdisk escaped into the archives that can't see logical
drives.  This got onto Slackware and others' CDROMS and everything.
Try the old fdisk v1.5a which I have placed (binary only) on ftp.rahul.net as
pub/cameron/fdisk.gz.  Of course you have to gunzip it.
Look for Slackware 2.2.0.1 or later which also backed down to v1.5a.
