Another datapoint... Try this URL: http://www.win.tue.nl/math/dw/personalpages/aeb/linux/partitions It has descriptions & discussion of partition types.

The same URL shows up on an AltaVista search of "partition +types". -kc >From: David Uhring <duhring@charter.net> >To: <doug@safeport.com>, freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG >Subject: Re: Boot ManagerQuestions >Date: Mon, 1 Jan 2001 06:16:20 -0600 > >On Friday 29 December 2000 15:46, doug@safeport.com wrote: >> I hit issues here because I have a couple of old Dell LM laptops that >> make find work stations (at least through KDE 1.9). >> >> I have two questions: >> >> 1) Sometimes sysinstall leaves without (re)writing the MBR. ... >> >> 2) I have a new system that came no OS but had some diagonistics on a >> small DOS partition. ... > >[...] > >> Does anyone know the MS/IBM approved codes for the various types >> >> 6 = DOS FAT16 >> ? = DOS FAT32 >> 165 = FreeBSD >> ? = others >> >> Would sysinstall let me have a FAT16 and a FAT32? >> >> Thanks for any thoughts and/orpointers >> >> _____ >> Douglas Denault >> doug@safeport.com >> Voice: 301-469-8766 >> Fax: 301-469-0601 >> >List of partition types from Linux fdisk: > >Command (m for help): Partition number (1-10): Hex code (type L to list codes): > 0 Empty a OS/2 Boot Manag 65 Novell Netware a6 OpenBSD > 1 DOS 12-bit FAT b Win95 FAT32 75 PC/IX a7 NEXTSTEP > 2 XENIX root c Win95 FAT32 (LB 80 Old MINIX b7 BSDI fs > 3 XENIX usr e Win95 FAT16 (LB 81 Linux/MINIX b8 BSDI swap > 4 DOS 16-bit <32M f Win95 Extended 82 Linux swap c7 Syrinx > 5 Extended 40 Venix 80286 83 Linux native db CP/M > 6 DOS 16-bit >=32 51 Novell? 85 Linux extended e1 DOS access > 7 OS/2 HPFS 52 Microport 93 Amoeba e3 DOS R/O > 8 AIX 63 GNU HURD 94 Amoeba BBT f2 DOS secondary > 9 AIX bootable 64 Novell Netware a5 BSD/386 ff BBT > >The codes for BSDI are not current.
