http://linux.die.net/man/8/sfdisk
sfdisk is an actual tool, and is actually provided by default with atleast Ubuntu (however not Debian, atleast not on a minimal install). They didn't change the name, they just simply provided sfdisk and did not provide fdisk.

In my poking around on my N900 in my /etc/event.d/rcS-late file I noticed a command sfdisk -l and since I had also noticed that the command fdisk -l was unknown on my N900 I was curious about it. Needless to say sfdisk appears to function the same as fdisk on any other distro...
Any ideas why they changed the command name on Maemo 5? Seems like an odd thing to do IMO

The older Nokia tablets also have sfdisk.
