Because:
1. With a brand new disk, fdisk from LM7.1 would segfault.
2. Someone on this list suggested it.
3. The tactic worked
What I did was use a Win98 startup disk to boot the machine.
Then, using FDISK from that startup disk, I created one primary
partition, encompassing the whole disk.
Then, rebooting from the first hard drive (SCSI) I was able then to
use fdisk from LM7.1 to delete the partition from /dev/hdc and create
Linux ext2 partitions the way I wanted them.
