 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.
