Hello Rolf, Thanks for letting me know that this is at least possible. I believe I'm using the etch-m68k version of amiga-fdisk:
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii amiga-fdisk 0.04-11 Partition editor for Amiga I don't recall if I originally partitioned this drive on AmigaDos tools. I do have a couple AmigaDos partions on it, though, which have mirrors of my current AmigaDos partitions and I can boot off the drive.
