To do this:
a) Start fdisk
b) Select 'n' for new partition
c) Select logical partition
d) Enter start & end cylinders as requested
e) Select 'p' to display (as you did above) and take note of the new
partition numbers
f) Select 'w' for write.
(You may have to reboot after this)
then type mkfs /dev/hdaX, where X is the new partition number (make sure
you get this right)
Create your new mount point (eg mkdir /newdisk
then you can mount the partition: mount /dev/hda/ /newdisk
