Add flag -F, options -t disktab and -T disktype to fdisk. Flag -F
...
indicates that the target of the fdisk operation is a file, not a
disk. With -t and -T, the user tells fdisk the geometry for the
file If the default geometry that fdisk will "fake up" for a file
are not satisfactory, the user may tell the geometry to fdisk using
-t disktab -T disktype.

- editing of the extended partition list
- user friendly default start/size for new partitions
- partition start/size input in sectors, cylinders or MB
- bootsel menu names configured with paritition bounds

(instead of asking about each partition in turn).
- detection (and erroring) of overlapped partitions.
- automatic installation of correct mbr_xxx code (after prompting user)

effect (i386 only of course). Also change one branch in the

the boot menu and partition tables to see if the partition
requested by the user should be booted. This check just in case,
should the bootselector menu and partition table get out of sync
somehow. (mmm, bytesqueezing)
