Is there any standard DOSTYPE Linux uses to mark ext2fs partitions in the
RDB?

Without knowing this, its not possible to see them as FS_EX2FS to the
netbsd kernel.

So the preferred solution add the ext2fs RDB type to the translation table.

The less preferable solution would be to make the amiga/disklabel translation
routine accept all unknown types... in this case, you'd be able to overwrite
innocent partitions much easier.
