[EMAIL PROTECTED]> file /mnt/sbin/mac-fdisk ~
/mnt/sbin/mac-fdisk: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, no machine, version 1
(SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> /mnt/sbin/mac-fdisk ~
zsh: exec format error: /mnt/sbin/mac-fdisk

mac-fdisk: bad usage - no device argument
mac-fdisk [-h|--help]
mac-fdisk [-v|--version]
mac-fdisk [-l|--list [name ...]]
mac-fdisk [-r|--readonly] name ...
mac-fdisk name ...
So /sbin/mac-fdisk is hosed for some reason, but /sbin/fdisk seems to be
a working mac-fdisk.
