Using the FDISK Partition Editor via /stand/sysinstall, I see this

Offset       Size(MB)        End     Name  PType       Desc  Subtype    Flags

         0          0         62        -      6     unused        0
        63       8032   16450559    da0s3      4   extended        5
  16450560       1027   18555074    da0s1      2        fat       12
* 18555075       4102   26957069        -      6     unused        0          
  26957070      21838   71682029    da0s2      3    freebsd      165    C
  71682030          2   71687368        -      6     unused        0

The line I've marked * has a copy of Linux installed on it.
Is it safe to use T and set the type to 131 (Linux ext2fs),
so it looks like this

  18555075    8401995   26957069    da0s4      1     ext2fs      131          

then write the changes and on the next screen install the FreeBSD Boot
Manager? I want to mount it, you see.

Adam.
