Mine is as follows.  It was originally partitioned/formatted on my
laptop, the output below is also from the laptop.  One diff I can see
immediately is partition 'c' ws 'd' for the "whole disk".  Your
mentioning the dd(1) trick you had to do reinforces my suspicions.

<root@glip:~> (1030) fdisk wd1

cylinders: 978 heads: 8 sectors/track: 32 (256 sectors/cylinder)

Partition table:

        beg: cylinder    0, head   1, sector  1
