This all looks right to me.  The only thing that smells funny is the
following line from fdisk:

> 0: sysid 6 (Primary 'big' DOS, 16-bit FAT (> 32MB))

Is this type of partition required to be larger than 32MB?

Hmm.  Have you reformatted the partition?  If you're feeling brave,
you could try:

dd if=3D/dev/zero of=3D/dev/wd1d seek=3D32 count=3D12000

That'll completely nuke the msdos partition, which should force a
reformat the next time wince boots.  But it could completely wipe your
disk, if these numbers aren't right.
