Can someone run me through the steps for partitioning a minidisk in Linux?
I have SuSE 2.4.7 and a 200 cylinder minidisk accessed as /dev/dasdf and
tried

dasdfmt -d cdl -b 4096 -f /dev/dasdf
(also tried -d ldl)

fdasd -c /root/dasd.conf

mke2fs -b 4096 /dev/dasdf1
mke2fs -b 4096 /dev/dasdf2

in the case of dasdfmt -d cdl mke2fs says both partitions are zero size.
In the case of dasdfmtn -d ldl mke2fs says dasdf2 is zero size.

What am I missing?
