Whoa! Wait a minute, are you sure? I'm quite certain that I remember
a "partition type" option (which could be AUX Root, AUX Root&Usr, AUX
Swap Slice 1, etc... Radio buttons, though, with certain fixed
choices) and a "partition name" option, which was an edittable text
field. In fact, I'm quite sure I changed the "name" to be something
funky (Like NetBSD or something). Sorry to be so vague and unclear; I
don't have access to MacOS right now. But I remember this quite
clearly from the many times I have repartioned various hard drives...
My system is working fine, so I don't really need to ask this
question; I'm just curious!
