Disk /dev/hdd: 1232 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track
sfdisk can not be executed using 2.4.0-test1-ac2 because it will
not boot. Using 2.3.99-pre7-5 sfdisk yields the following:
Units = sectors of 512 bytes, counting from 0
Device Boot Start End #sectors Id System
/dev/hdd1 63 2040254 2040192 6 FAT16
/dev/hdd2 2040255 7582679 5542425 83 Linux native

/dev/hdd4 9639000 12048749 2409750 83 Linux native
Architecture=M586, no LVM or RAID and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD
is not set.
