Create and use partitions?

20 Sep 2006

      I hope this is not a FAQ: if so I apologise, but I haven't been able to 
discover anything.

I'm interested in whether it's possible to create and use partitions on a disk 
which is accessed by pktseup.

If I do:
pktsetup goo /dev/sr0  

then:
fdisk /dev/pktcdvd/goo

I can apparently create partitions:

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/pktcdvd/goo: 604 MB, 604700672 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 18 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 2048 = 32901120 bytes

           Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/pktcdvd/goo1               1          10      321174   83  Linux
/dev/pktcdvd/goo2              11          18      257040   83  Linux

Is there any way to then actually see and use these?  The devices goo1, goo2 
don't actually exist, and creating them with mknod doesn't seem to help.
