when using lilo to hide partitions in the past i have relied on the examples i
found online and in man lilo.conf, but now that i wish to alter the id of the
extended partition (so that both os/2 and winxp will both work) i can't find
any confirmation of the appropriate nomenclature.
the examples that i can find, for example:
set=DOS16_big_normal
or
set=NTFS_normal
do not actually coincide with the partition id list given by fdisk so i'm not
sure if it is safe to just put:
change
partition=/dev/hda2
set=0x05
and so forth; the extended partition is a primary partition so i'm assuming
it's id can be changed (i read that this can't be done for logical
partitions)
can anyone tell me what the nomenclature is for the set= line to change the
extended partition to id 05 (Extended) and to 0f (ExtendedX)
cheers
