I think this is the result of the kludgy idiot partition table scheme that's
in use for a looooong time now. If FDISK DOS version is able to create logical 
partitions on a blank disk without any primary partition, I think it would
result in the same sympton. I don't know if the DOS version of FDISK can do
this, I've never tried and I don't care.
