I used Norton Disk Edit (booting DOS 5.0; linux fdisk won't let you
re-type a partition to 0x5) to change the partition type to 0x5,
The standard Linux command would be
sfdisk -c /dev/hdb 2 5
if you want to change the type of /dev/hdb2 into 5 (hex).
If anyone's already working on kernel support for lose95/98's "big"
extended partitions, please let me know, otherwse I'll start poking
around. It's starting to become a FAQ in the newsgroups (with no
good answers!), now that you can get a 9G SCSI drive for <$500 on a
good day, and a >8G IDE drive for less yet... I think we really,
really need this in 2.2, if not 2.2.0, otherwise there goes a good
chunk of our losedows non-combatibility...

Hmm. Can you be more explicit? What support are you looking for
that is not there already?
