This is not true, as Linux does not recognize any DOSTYPE.
The mentioned DOSTYPEs are only used in the installation process
by 'fdisk', but not by the kernel or other disk utilities.
But after installation they are not used any more.
I have been using 'UNI\2' as the DOSTYPE of my Linux partitions
that I want to mount under NetBSD
