fdisk does not load during os boot, it's a program you use to
manipulate disk partitions. It's indipendant of the partitions being
created. Especially when using the caldera/opendos fdisk, I have
created partitions for several os types, and there's more I've not
used. Linux, swap, e2fs, ntfs, fat32, bsd partitions, and more.
it's just a tool, it isn't related to the os.

Without Boot Camp this is all just speculation on my part, but I find
it incomprehensible that fdisk could access and modify the Mac
partitions, and I attribute that utility with more powers than any
malware. The base emulation layer, where EFI emulates a bios, loads
before fdisk, a dos era boot sector virus, or anything else.
