Just to add to the discussion of fsck partition numbers. Below is an
extract of the code for a version of fsck that was posted several
years ago. The routine supplied was dpl_entry. In the code minix
has been given a partition number of 0x40.

Disclaimer: I don't know about any of the other codes.

dpl_entry(number,d_entry)
int	number;
struct	part_entry	*d_entry;
{
	int	low_cyl,high_cyl,temp;
	char	*typestring= NULL;
	char	active;

	switch(d_entry->sysind) {
		case 0x01:
			typestring = "DOS 2.XX";
			break;
		case 0x04:
			typestring = "DOS 3.XX";
			break;
		case 0x05:
			typestring = "DOS (5) ";
			break;
		case 0x06:
			typestring = "DOS (6) ";
			break;

			typestring = "DOS R/W ";
			break;
