OS/2 Install problem, solved!

FYI, for those who are interested,

I was trying to install OS/2 Warp v.4 on a new system.  The disk had
previously had Windows-98 installed, which had been formatted as
FAT-32.  The old partition was still there.  The OS/2 install would
consistently fail with a TRAP D in fdisk when trying to leave fdisk. 
The old partition had been deleted and a new partition had been created
in fdisk.

The OS/2 fdisk has a problem when there is a FAT-32 partition on the
drive.

The solution was to use PartitionMagic to format the drive with HPFS. 
I have also been informed that using DOS fdisk to delete and create the
partitions would work.
