I wondered about that myself as well.
It should work:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# parted /dev/sdb mkpart primary linux-swap 1 500
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Disk /dev/sdb: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 521 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 64 514048+ 82 Linux swap
greetings,
Gerben
