Don't exit early if the device is not character special or if the

device driver cannot supply a label (real or faked).  This allows
you to practice using fdisk on disposable media (e.g., "dd count=1
<dev/zero >/tmp/junk; fdisk /tmp/junk", "dd count=1 </etc/passwd
>/tmp/fix-up-the-mess; fdisk /tmp/fix-up-the-mess") and allows me
to test DOSpartitioning and labelling on floppies.
