Is it normal to not see created partitions during install?

Is it normal to not see created partitions during install? I have my install running and it claims that the partitions have been created and it is chugging away installing packages. When I do an CTRL-ALT F2 and then do an: # fdisk /dev/sda And I only see the /boot/efi partition on my Itanium system. It should have three partitions created. /boot/efi, /, and a swap. When looking at the log file in /var/log/YaST2/ I can see where it says it is formatting the partition. I was just wondering if maybe I messed up and that there is some special value that most be set to make sure the partitions are created in the partition table. John
