Take a look at sfdisk.  It's a script driven version of fdisk.  It's in
util-linux >= 2.7.  

>From the sfdisk(8) man page:

       -d     Dump  the partitions of a device in a format useful
              as input to sfdisk. For example,
                  % sfdisk -d /dev/hda > hda.out
                  % sfdisk /dev/hda < hda.out
              will correct the bad last extended  partition  that
              the OS/2 fdisk creates.
