 Seen this one. Some drivers wobble when asked to access the partition
tables, had exactly the same problem when I added a 3.2G SCSI drive to
a system with one IDE.

 Solution, make a set of utility disks, or use the first few floppies
from the install set, and run fdisk from there.

 This makes fdisk go through the BIOS on the scsi card, as the SCSI
driver isn't on the utility disks, and everything works.
