I tried this, and it worked. prepareclient used "parted" instead, and it succeeded. I guess this is an indication that "sfdisk" is somewhat broken on this system, perhaps all SuSE9.0??

If it's actually a problem with sfdisk, and you have parted installed too, a quick getaround might be to temporarily rename sfdisk, then re-run prepareclient.
Thus spake Carl J. Benson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
I'm trying to make an image of a golden client running SuSE9.0. I downloaded and installed SystemImager from sisuite.org, according to the instructions. The installation appeared to be successful.
When I run prepareclient, it tells me:
Using "sfdisk" to gather information about /dev/hda...
FATAL: Your sfdisk output does not appear to be in megabytes or sectors, and I just don't know what to do with it! The disk in question is: hda
I've used prepareclient successfully on several dozen RedHat 9 and a Debian system, so this took me by surprise. Running "sfdisk -v" on both the SuSE9.0 and a sample RH9 system gives the same result, version 3.07.
I tried "sfdisk -l /dev/hda" on both my SuSE9.0 system and a RH9 system, and the units appear to be the same.
Any ideas, anyone?
