Is it mandatory that the HDToolBos Identifier for the partitions are
as follows (INSTALL.txt):

----- cut here -----

     o   Set the dostype to one of these three choices:

               root partition  : 0x4e425207
               swap partition  : 0x4e425301
               other partitions: 0x4e425507

----- cut here -----

If yes, why?

I'm just about to experiment with the BFFS, which doesn't want to
mount properly the partitions.

TIA
