Damn Small Linux not working

Hello,

I'm using Ubuntu 7.10. I've tried installing Damn Small Linux 4.2.5 on a pendrive, as described in this tutorial. I've completed all the steps mentioned there, however when I try to run DSL from the pendrive using Qemu, I get these errors.

The only thing I've done not exactly as described in the tutorial was the partitioning, because fdisk returned this when I tried to create a new partition:
Code:
Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered!

Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.

WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 22: Invalid argument.
The kernel still uses the old table.
The new table will be used at the next reboot.

WARNING: If you have created or modified any DOS 6.x
partitions, please see the fdisk manual page for additional
information.
Syncing disks.
so I used gparted and created a FAT32 partition flagged with "boot".

Can this be the cause of the errors?

Thanks,
starsky
