What I mentioned in my proposal is a different issue
which I had earlier (I have not checked whether it can
still occur).

It has nothing to do with fdisk, but with the installer
when using a disk already partitioned. The installer
refused to install on a disk where two Solaris partitions
were present (one of them being intended for the Linux
swap, not to be changed to 0xbf).
