Allen is right, there was a bug in some versions of Mkfs that caused it 
to miss the last partition on the disk.  This was fixed in verison 1.44 
and 1.45 and so far I haven't gotten any reports of any similar problems. 
 There was a problem that some disk formatters were creating A/UX 
partitions that Mkfs couldn't see, but I thought I fixed that in verison 
1.45.  But if either of these things are still happening please contact 
me privately and we'll get it fixed.
