Few months ago, I tried using cfdisk to set the linux partition (2GB),
and both linux and msdos fdisk denied to run and I have to low-level
format my SCSI HD to rectify the problem.

I had some problems like this, where fdisk and cfdisk could no longer deal
with my disk. I posted somewhere and this wonderful fellow

answered.  He wrote fdisk3 .  Some times it can read broken tables , get
the good info and spit out a clean one.  It worked like a charm for me.
I don't know if there is a debian package.  I can't remeber where to get
it.  Probably takes 20 second web search or just go to sunsite.
