In response to my request for an FDISK-type program for MINIX, 
Jakob Schripsema and Michael Umansky have just posted programs of that type.
Thanks a lot!  The next question is whether either or both work.  Needless
to say, programs like this are pretty scary.  A bug in your partition table
and bye bye hard disk.  This is thus a request to people who have access to
a hard disk with nothing on it.  Please try both programs on MINIX and see
what happens.  Give them a good going over, and try to find bugs, then post
your findings.
