Unfortunately, the install procedure is not quite friendly in this area.
You have to use ed(1) as an editor... An alternative is to install a
bare-bones system into your swap area and run disklabel from there.
Note that the 'chg_pid' program is reversable. As long as you write
down what id was originally found, you are always able to restore
the original situation.

I didn't get that either ;-) I have never looked into the compatibility code.
I don't know how compatible linux-68k and linux-i386 are, but if they are
compatible (exept for processor type of course ;-) ), it shouldn't be
too hard to get it to work.

There were rumours about ext2 support, no time-frame was mentioned however.
