After reviewing the archives, and going over the steps, I found that I
should be able to fdisk /dev/nftla device.  When I do:
embed: fdisk /dev/nftla
Unable to open /dev/nftla

embed: fdisk /dev/nftla1
Unable to open /dev/nftla1

I am not using modules, as I will be booting the DOC.
Here is the relevant information in my .config file.

CONFIG_MTD=y
CONFIG_MTD_DOC2000=y
CONFIG_MTD_DOCPROBE_ADDRESS=0
CONFIG_MTD_DOCPROBE_HIGH=n
CONFIG_MTD_DOCPROBE_55AA=y
CONFIG_FTL=y
CONFIG_NFTL=y
CONFIG_NFTL_RW=y

This is an edited dump of dmesg:
