You're on a virtual Mac, so I guess either "pdisk" or "parted" would be the partitioning tools of choice here. Either way, I have never installed fedora, so I have absolutely no idea in what state the installer is. The openSUSE 11.1 installer just broke for me on a real machine too ... The easiest way around this is usually to kpartx or "rescue disk" into the image, grab the kernel and initrd and run qemu-system with -kernel and -initrd. Those definitely do work :-). Alex
