Thats what I thought as well... But the linux disk driver depends on
being able to read the partition table. Since that errors out the
kernel never gets told that the device exists. All the disk editors
I tried under linux suffered the same problem.
Perhaps there is a way to hardcode it but I didn't investigate it
that far yet.
