fdisk has been deprecated for quite a long time, I think parted is the
preferred command line tool now.

Even to the extent that it works, it’d only support MBR partitioning, and you almost certainly want GPT for a macOS boot image.

fdisk has been updated:
  # fdisk /dev/sdb

  Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.23.2).

  Command (m for help): m
  Command action

    g   create a new empty GPT partition table

How good it is, I leave to others.
