Just done a reinstall here onto a 4.3 GB disk and fdisk was very
unhappy even with an updated ibm1s506.add. Further requirement was
to ammend the line in config.sys on the installation disk to direct
os2 into using lba by using parameters /V /A:0 /U:0 /LBA.
The /V just to give a visual check on how os/2 sees the disks at
bootup. /A is adaptor number /U is drive unit number
I had: ptn 1 = c: dos+w3.1
ptn 2 = c: win95
ptn 3 = os/2 boot manager
ptn 4 = extended (not shown by os/2 fdisk)
ptn 5 = linux
ptn 6 = d: swap
ptn 7 = e: os/2
ptn 8 = another linux
