However, Karl's problem was of different nature: his disks don't have valid fdisk tables.

I'll leave the integration to Bruce, he's the most knowledgable guy regarding all that disklabel stuff... ;) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
