If you use the FDISK command that comes on the installation diskette it
requires you to give parameters.  The only parameter that I know of is
/d to delete the current partition.  I haven't found any documentation
on any other parameters.  I tried booting from a DOS disk and using its
FDISK but it will only delete DOS partitions.  When I installed OS/2 in
the one paritition that was available I was able to run the FDISKPM 
program.  Unfortunately this program would only let me make the non DOS/OS2
partitions startable, it wouldn't let me delete them.
