After seeing a couple of people asking this same question, I decided
I'd reply to the list instead of individually (sorry to the majority
who probably know this).

It is normal behavior for fdisk to report the errors about /dev/hd5,
etc, if you do not have a second hard disk.  I am not sure which of
the following is correct, however

	1) fdisk has it hard coded to check a second hard disk

	2) fdisk checks on all /dev/hd*'s

I am not able to check since I am not at home, but suffice to say that
it is normal.  I think this was written somewhere, was it not?

Derek Lieber:  This has nothing to do with the fact that you cannot
get 0.11 to mount your HD.  This is a seperate bug that will
(hopefully) be fixed in 0.12.  Linus has stated that it is.  It has to
do, from my understanding, that some delays in the HD init are not
long enough?  Anyways...I'm getting over my head...
