I'm forwarding this. He has busybox-1.12.1 and as far i can see there
are no fixes for fdisk for 1.12.1 or 1.12.2

the following config options might be of interest:
CONFIG_LFS=y
CONFIG_FDISK=y
CONFIG_FDISK_SUPPORT_LARGE_DISKS=y
CONFIG_FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE=y
CONFIG_FEATURE_FDISK_ADVANCED=y

thanks!
