After flashing you have a working MyDocs again, but still have to go through all of the steps of the howto to adjust the size and create an extra partition for Nitdroid.
With fdisk provided by busybox-power (your shell) there is no need and no success with steps 1, 3, so skip them. Also in step 9: there is no /home/user/bin/fdisk, just use

Ok back again
at step 5/9 I got this when I enter /home/user/bin/fdisk /dev/mmcblk0
-sh: /home/user/bin/fdisk: not found
the same with /usr/bin/fdisk or /usr/bin/fdisk /dev/mmcblk0 that give me
-sh: /usr/bin/fdisk: not found
though with which fdisk i get
/sbin/fdisk

That is actually a pretty good result, i had worse results after a reflash than that! The 256MB of the N900 is really only 227,9 MB as shown, and fiasco image will take those 130 MB.
There are some scripts to even get some more valuable space back, i prefer that one: http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Tanner#Sa...pace_on_rootfs

At line 12 step 7, it ask me Partition number (1-4): and if I enter the value 5 as described, it tell me:
Value out of range.
Partition number (1-4):
And am stuck their, as this was the cause of my main problem.
So what to do?

So the step, where the extended partition is created, failed. Look at your partitions with 'p' like print partition table, there is also 'm' for manual in fdisk.
EDIT: There seems to be an error in the usage of fdisk in step 7 of the tutorial!!!
Here is the block that i consider correct, the red letter is a small 'L':[code]n
e
First cylinder: 800001
Last cylinder: 884865

We may have only 4 primary (incl. extended) partitions on a disk. So this will be the reason why he chose first an extended partition 4 and then created the 5th logical partition (inside that 4th extended).
Do not know why he chose that way, cause you may have used that4th directly as primary! ? This makes only sense, if you want to create more logical partitions inside that 4th extended one. But hey, nevermind.
Did you succeed?
I saw, that you learned how to quit, but yo need to confirm with 'w' write
