Well... that was pretty fast :-(

I'll toss that address and monitor the PR instead.
Damn spammers.
Anyway... some Linuxen seems to get a little friendlier with the concept of 1024 byte bocks:
$ fdisk -b 1024 /dev/discs/disc4/disc
You will not be able to write the partition table.
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/discs/disc4/disc: 2057 MB, 2057830400 bytes
53 heads, 52 sectors/track, 729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2756 * 1024 = 2822144 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/discs/disc4/part1 1 1459 4018957 6 FAT16
Partition 1 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
phys=(0, 3, 55) logical=(0, 4, 36)
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(996, 52, 52) logical=(1458, 18, 16)
I haven't managed to mount the card on the router yet, though.
