Hello,
I used recently fdisk to remember which extra partition number to mount 
on busybox. The mount is not a pb. but when entries are not in disk 
order, the informations displayed seems to be wrong.

Busybox fdisk:
-------------
# fdisk -l /dev/hda
Warning: ignoring extra data in partition table 5
Warning: ignoring extra data in partition table 5
Warning: ignoring extra data in partition table 6
Warning: invalid flag 0x1ac9 of partition table 5 will be corrected by 
w(rite)
Warning: invalid flag 0x0026 of partition table 6 will be corrected by

Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40027029504 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4866 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

/dev/hda9          4208      4274    538146   83  Linux

Partition table entries are not in disk order

  I think that my partitions are 'like that' because i used resize, 
move, add, ... many times without any pb. (warning message excepted).

King regards
