Good. I added this to http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/partitions/partition_types-2.html#above1024chs
Now that I looked at this disk.c anyway: it has a table of partition types, and it seems I collect these. (See http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/partitions/partition_types-1.html ) Are types 57 and 77, labeled "VNDI Partition", actually in use?
