I'm running alpine-linux-1.7.24.

I have one 750 GB SATA hard-drive installed on my system.  When I run fdisk /dev/sda I get a warning about having more than 1024 cylinders (there are 91201) and then a Segmentation fault.

Running fdisk -l shows 

Disk /dev/sda: 750.1 GB, 750156374016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 91201 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End          Blocks     Id System
/dev/sda1                  1      91202    732571648      7 HPFS/NTFS

Any idea why I get a segmentation fault?  Seems like a bug in busybox to me.

until it gets fixed, you can work around it by installing the real fdisk:

apk_add util-linux
