There is a misunderstanding in terminology here. "DOS-type partition table" is for most Linux users the only type they have ever seen. The msdos in this context does not refer to a particular filesystem, like the fat or msdos filesystem.
In case you have a problem because you want to access this partition, give it some nonzero type.
