So, when I need to lay-out a hdd, I usually : use the Slackware tools, but also PartitionMagic, : depending on What I'm Trying To Do. Then I change the : type indicator for BSD. Maybe some kind of "port" of : Slackware's fdisk/cfdisk might be in order? I have a partial port of OpenBSD's fdisk, and it is much, much nicer. I also have a partial port of disklabel -E, but both of these have rotted so much they don't even compile any more.
