I just tested a regular 10.2 debian-live image graphical installer,
and it offers me in the graphical part:
Select [...] a device to initialize its partition table.
and if I switch to the F2 console, fdisk is available at this point
(although no fdisk before you start the partitioning in the installer).
Did you test the same way your live-image? Maybe this CNC image is
not made the same way as the stock debian-live image.
